Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Jain philosophy comprises two primary sects:
• Digambara: Adherents practice complete renunciation, including nudity, to symbolize the rejection of material possessions.
• Shwetambara: Followers wear simple white clothes, symbolizing purity.
Pitambara and Raktambara are not Jain sects; these names pertain to other contexts, not Jain philosophy.
