  1. a.Vaishnavism

No option is correct as printed — this question is disputed. WBPSC awarded the mark to all candidates: two correct options — both Buddhism (B) and Jainism (D) have 'Three Jewels' (Triratna).

The question has two correct options, so the Commission awarded the mark to all candidates. Buddhism has the Three Jewels (Triratna) of the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha. Jainism also has Three Jewels (Triratna): right faith, right knowledge and right conduct, which together lead to liberation. Vaishnavism and Judaism have no such doctrine, so both (B) and (D) are correct.
