Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A physical, material substance
1. Jainism conceives of karma as a physical, material substance.
2. Subtle particles of matter are drawn to the soul by actions, thoughts and words.
3. This karmic dirt obscures the soul, so it is neither divine judgement nor merely an attitude.
