Explanation

Ramanuja, the 11th-12th century Hindu philosopher, founded the Srivaishnava sect which is based on Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism) philosophy. This sect emphasizes devotion (bhakti) to Lord Vishnu, particularly in his forms as Narayana and Lakshmi. The other options are different Jain or Hindu ascetic traditions - Svetambra is a Jain sect, while Dasnami and Vairagin are Hindu ascetic orders unrelated to Ramanuja's teachings.
