Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Devadatta)

देवदत्त, बुद्ध का चचेरा भाई था। वह पहले उनका अनुगत बना और फिर उनका विरोधी बन गया। वह बौद्ध संघ से बुद्ध को हटाकर स्वयं संघ का प्रधान बनना चाहता था; किंतु उसे इसमें सफलता नहीं मिली। वस्तुतः देवदत्त उसी दिन से संघ का प्रधान बनने की सोचने लगा था, जब वह पहले-पहले भिक्षु बना था।

Devadatta, the cousin of Mahatma Buddha, in his early days, was a follower of Buddha and a good monk as well. But later he tried to become the leader of Sangha in place of Buddha but did not succeed. From the beginning, he was thinking of becoming the leader of Sangha.
