Solution
The correct option is A Maha Kassapa
According to the scriptures of all Buddhist schools, the first Buddhist Council was held soon after the death of the Buddha, dated by the majority of recent scholars around 400 BCE, under the patronage of the king Ajatashatru with the monk Mahakasyapa presiding, at Sattapanni caves Rajgriha (now Rajgir). Hence, Option A is correct. Sabbakami presided over the second Buddhist Council in Vaishali. Moggaliputta Tissa presided over the third held in Pataliputra while Buddhaghosa was a 5th-century Indian Theravada Buddhist commentator, translator, and philosopher. He worked in the Great Monastery at Anurādhapura, Sri Lanka and saw himself as being part of the Vibhajjavāda school. Hence, these options are incorrect.
