    Zoroastrian

    Incorrect Answer

    Buddhist

    Incorrect Answer

    Maratha

    Incorrect Answer

    Jain

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    Let’s break it down with the options:

    - Zoroastrian: This is the religion founded by Zoroaster in ancient Persia. Its main divisions are not Svetambara and Digambara. So, not this one.

    - Buddhist: Buddhism has main divisions like Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Svetambara and Digambara don’t fit here either.

    - Maratha: That’s actually a major group in India, mostly found in Maharashtra. They’re a community, not a religion with sects named Svetambara or Digambara.

    - Jain: Here’s the thing—Jainism actually splits into Svetambara (“white-clad”) and Digambara (“sky-clad”). These are the two principal sects, differing mainly in how monks dress and interpret scriptures.
