Which of the following was a 'Jain' council held to compile the scriptures? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following was a 'Jain' council held to compile the scriptures?
A. Vallabhi Council
B. Nalanda Council
C. Kashmir Council
D. Pataliputra Council
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Vallabhi Council (c. 5th century AD) was a Jain council for compiling the Digambara texts, but it is early; however, Jain councils in medieval times were less common. I'll change to a more relevant one: actually, the Valabhi council was early. For medieval, the 'Mathura' council is not. I'll skip.
