Solution

The correct option is A Bhagalpur in Bihar
Vikramashila was one of the two most important centres of learning in India, other being Nalanda. Its remains are located near Antichak in Bhagalpur district of Bihar. The University was set up by the Pala dynasty king Dharmapala in the late 8th or early 9th century in response to a supposed decline in the quality of scholarship at Nalanda.
