Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because statements I, II, and IV are factually accurate while statement III is incorrect.

Statement I is correct because Lothal was a major port city of the Indus Valley Civilization featuring a brick dockyard.

Statement II is correct because Sarnath is the site where Gautama Buddha delivered his first sermon, known as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta.

Statement III is incorrect because the Lion Capital of Asoka is located at Sarnath, not Rajgir. Rajgir is famous for being the capital of the Magadha Empire and the site of the first Buddhist Council.

Statement IV is correct because Nalanda was a world renowned ancient university and a primary center for Buddhist studies.

Since statements I, II, and IV are true and statement III is false, option C is the right choice.
