Option 2 : Bihar

The correct answer is Bihar.

Vikramshila is an ancient site located 40 km away from the Bhagalpur city of Bihar.
The small town is famous for housing Vikramshila University, which was built under the guidance of Dharmapala, a Pala King of the 8th century AD.
Situated on top of the hills along the banks of the river Ganges, the university became a learning centre of Tantric Buddhism.
Over the years, Vikramshila became one of the most popular Buddhist destinations in India and a major tourist spot in Bihar.
It prospered for about four centuries before it was destroyed by Bakhtiyar Khilji along with the other major centres of Buddhism in India around 1193.

During the Pala Empire, Vikramashila, along with Nalanda and Odantapuri, was one of India's three most prominent Buddhist monasteries.
In response to a perceived decrease in the quality of study at Nalanda, the Pala ruler Dharmapala (783–820 AD) founded Vikramashila.
