Answer: Pavapuri
Option c is the correct answer.
The special place where Mahavir Ji, who started Jainism, found salvation is Pavapuri. Pavapuri is in the Nalanda district of Bihar. It's a very important place for Jains because it's where Mahavir Ji was cremated. In Pavapuri, there's a temple called Jal Mandir, which means Water Temple. It's also called Apapuri, meaning a town without sins. This temple is really respected by people because it's dedicated to Lord Mahavira, the 24th special leader of Jainism.
