Mohandas Gandhi adopted his creed of nonviolence and respect for human life from the religious doctrines of D) Buddhism and also C) Jainism. He grew up within the Hindu faith but adopted elements of other faiths in his struggles for civil disobedience. 

Correct answer choice is :


C)  Jainism


Explanation:


Jainism is contrary to Buddhism in its moderate opinions. Both these religions maintain non-violence, but non-violence is the central hub in Jainism. Mahavira just like Buddha isn't the first prophet of his religion. In Jainism like Buddhism, there is a faith in the resurrection which ultimately directs to liberation.
