c. eat meat on Fridays

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option A) Avoid Stepping on an Ant

Jains are an ancient religion that originated in modern-day India and believe in in compassion towards every living object.

Ahimsa is a sanskrit word that roughtly translate to as 'harmlessness or non-violence'

Jains believe every living being should be handled with mercy and respect and they practice Ahimsa, a form of self-restraint against all kinds of violince, no matter how little.

Hence, even stepping on an ant would be considered harmful and violent in their religion, something they avoid.
