The correct answer is

Only (i) and (ii) are true

Jaina metaphysics treats the soul (jīva) as an eternal conscious substance that is bound by karmic matter and can be freed through right faith, right knowledge and right conduct.

Statement (i) is true: the Jainas hold that the soul is co-extensive with the body it occupies, contracting and expanding like the light of a lamp in a small or large room. Statement (ii) is true: the kaṣāyas (anger, pride, deceit and greed) are the passions that make karmic particles stick to the soul and keep it in bondage. Statement (iii) is false: the soul is eternal and passes from birth to birth until liberation; only the Cārvākas say it perishes with the body.

So the codes saying that only (i) is true, that only (iii) is true, or that (i) and (iii) are true all fail, because (ii) is true and (iii) is false.

Only (i) and (ii) are true option is correct.
