Solution

The correct option is A The Sungas
The Sanchi Stupa, built by Ashoka in the 3rd Century B.C.E, was enlarged to twice the original size during the period of the Sungas around the 2nd Century B.C.E. This stupa is said to contain the relics of the Buddha himself, and that is why it is a very sacred place for Buddhists.
