Madhva is the founder of the Dvaita Vedanta school of philosophy.

According to Dvaita Vedanta, there is a fundamental and eternal difference between Jiva (individual soul) and Brahman (Supreme Being).

This dualistic view strongly opposes the non-dualism of Advaita Vedanta.

Therefore, according to Madhva, Jiva and Brahman are different.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A: different.
