Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A Conqueror of the self. Vardhamana came to be known as Mahavira or Jina, the conqueror of the self. Hence, his followers came to be known as Jains. The Jains also considered him to be the last of the twenty four Tirthankaras.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vardhaman Mahavir was called Jina or the Conqueror because the joy derived from physical comforts and the discomforts felt due to undesired things had no impact whatsoever on him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tirthankara, (Sanskrit: “Ford-maker”) also called Jina (“Victor”), in Jainism, a saviour who has succeeded in crossing over life’s stream of rebirths and has made a path for others to follow. Mahavira (6th century bce) was the last Tirthankara to appear.
