The correct answer is

Kalpa-sutra

Kalpa-sutra is the highly revered Śvetāmbara Jain text describing the lives of the 24 Tirthankaras, the pontiff lineage, and Paryushana monastic rules.

Kalpa-sutradham, Kalpa-samant and Kalpa-yoga are not the actual names of this specific Jain scriptural text.

Hence, Kalpa-sutra is the correct answer.
