Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(धर्मपाल)
विक्रमशिला विश्वविद्यालय की स्थापना बंगाल के पाल वंशीय शासक धर्मपाल (770-810 ई.) ने 8वीं शताब्दी के उत्तरार्ध में की थी। यह बिहार राज्य के वर्तमान भागलपुर जिले के अंतीचक गांव में स्थित था तथा नालंदा के बाद बौद्ध धर्म एवं उच्च शिक्षा का प्रमुख अंतरराष्ट्रीय केंद्र बना।
