A Correct answer
Explanation

Jainism is divided into two major sects: Svetambara (white-clad) who wear white garments, and Digambara (sky-clad) who practice nudity as part of their ascetic tradition. This doctrinal split dates to the 3rd century CE and relates to different interpretations of Mahavira's teachings. Buddhism is unrelated to these specific sects.
