Q.

Which one of the six traditional schools of Hindu Philosophy closely resembles the Jain Philosophy?

  •  
Explanation:
  • Samkhya is the oldest of the orthodox philosophical systems, and it postulates that everything in reality stems from purusha (self or soul or mind) and prakriti (matter, creative agency, energy). It is a dualist philosophy, although between the self and matter rather than between mind and body as in the Western dualist tradition, and liberation occurs with the realization that the soul and the dispositions of matter (steadiness, activity and dullness) are different.

Thus, Option B is Correct
