Option 1 : Kanishka

King Kanishka was from the Kushan Empire, it was during his rule that Buddhism was divided into two factions.
Mahayana Buddhists believe that Buddha was a god whereas Hinayana Buddhists believe that he was an ordinary man.
This division happened during the 4th Buddhist council which was held in the year 98 AD. The venue of this was Kundala Vana, Kashmir.
This council was headed by the Vasumitra and the vice-chairman was Ashvagosha.
The Results of this council were Compilation of Mahavibhasa shastra (Sanskrit comment on the Tripitaka) and the decision of Buddhists into Hinayanists and Mahayanists.
