Solution

The correct option is B Statement 2 is true and statement 1 is false.
Jainism strongly opposed the practice of animal sacrifices in yajnas of the traditional Vedic religion. They also took a stand against the superiority of Brahmanas and the tradition of sacrifices. Tirthankara is a saint who has been liberated from the eternal cycle of life and death and has made a path for others to follow. The first Tirthankara was Rishabhadeva.
