Solution

The correct option is B Lyceum
After Plato's death, Aristotle found his own school called The Lyceum in 335 BCE. The Lykeion or Lyceum of Aristotle was also called the "Peripatetic School", because students and teachers, would stroll (walk) the tree lines grounds during the course of lectures. This place of learning was one of ancient Athens most important sites and the fore-runner of today's modern university and museum. Here Aristotle and others taught philosophy, mathematics, and rhetoric.
