Solution

The correct option is B Buddhists
The Hindus took the concept of worshipping their Gods in temples from the Buddhists. According to many historians, the Hindus would often worship their Gods in the open. Buddhists, who started worshipping the Buddha as a God, turned their places of stay, or mathas, into temples and monasteries. The Hindus followed suit soon.
