Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(सारनाथ में)
बोधगया में ज्ञान प्राप्ति के पश्चात गौतम बुद्ध ऋषिपत्तन (मृगदाव, आधुनिक सारनाथ, वाराणसी) पहुंचे। यहां आषाढ़ पूर्णिमा के दिन उन्होंने अपने पांच पूर्व संन्यासी साथियों (कौंडिन्य, वाप्प, भद्दिय, महानामा और अस्सजि) को पहला उपदेश दिया। बौद्ध परंपरा में इस ऐतिहासिक प्रथम उपदेश को 'धर्मचक्रप्रवर्तन' (Turning of the Wheel of Law) कहा जाता है।
Following his enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, Gautama Buddha journeyed to Rishipatana (the deer park at modern Sarnath, near Varanasi). There he delivered his first sermon to his five former ascetic companions (Kaundinya, Vappa, Bhaddiya, Mahanama, and Assaji), expounding the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. This historic foundation of the Sangha is venerated as 'Dharmachakrapravartana' (Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dhamma).
