Explanation: The last in the succession of Jaina Tirthankaras was (c) Mahavira. Mahavira is considered the 24th and final Tirthankara in Jainism. He was born in the 6th century BCE and is known for his teachings and ascetic practices, which formed the basis of the Jain philosophy. While both Parsvanatha (a) and Rishabha (b) are earlier Tirthankaras, Mahavira is recognized as the last Tirthankara in Jainism. Manisubrata (d) is not recognized as a Tirthankara in Jainism.
