Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Bihar.
The Mahabodhi Temple Complex, one of the four sacred sites associated with the life of Lord Buddha, holds particular significance for his enlightenment. Emperor Asoka constructed the initial temple in the 3rd century B.C., while the current temple, dating back to the 5th or 6th centuries, stands as a testament to its enduring legacy. Notably, it represents one of India's earliest Buddhist temples constructed entirely of brick, originating from the late Gupta era and still intact.
