Options for question 9

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Bodh Gaya, where the enlightenment took place, is in Bihar.

  2. Lumbini, the birthplace, is in Nepal; Sarnath, where he first taught, and Kushinagar, where he died, are both in Uttar Pradesh.

  3. Four places, three of them in the options — the question is asking you to separate them.

Worth noting

Nepal is offered because Lumbini genuinely is there. It is the birthplace, not the place of enlightenment.
