Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Gautama Buddha received enlightenment)
बोधगया में 6 वर्ष की साधना के पश्चात 35 वर्ष की आयु में महात्मा बुद्ध को वैशाख पूर्णिमा की रात को एक पीपल के वृक्ष के नीचे ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ।
For full six years, Gautama Buddha sought a due solution to the suffering, ultimately he got enlightenment at the age of 35 years at Bodhgaya under Pipal tree on a Vaisakh Purnima night. Hence he was called “Buddha.” Mahabodhi temple was built at this site.
