Answer

The answer is ajiva and jiva

Explanation
Option 1: avidya and vidya

These terms are more commonly associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, where "avidya" refers to ignorance and "vidya" to knowledge. They do not specifically refer to the material and spiritual worlds in Jainism.

Option 2: ajiva and jiva
