Answer 1

The correct option is B Only $4$

Kanthaka was Lord Buddha's favourite horse. Channa was the name of his charioteer. Alara Kalama was the first teacher of Gautama Buddha. So these three are directly related to Buddha's life. Where Goshala Maskariputra was an ascetic teacher, a contemporary of both Buddha and Mahavira, not directly related to the life of Buddha.
