The correct answer is: C. Bhabra<\/strong><\/p>\n The Third Buddhist Council was held in Pataliputra (modern-day Patna) in India in 250 BCE. It was convened by Emperor Ashoka the Great, who was a devout Buddhist. The council was attended by over 1,000 monks, and it was the first time that the Buddhist scriptures were compiled into a single canon.<\/p>\n The council also issued a number of edicts, which were inscribed on stone pillars and slabs. These edicts dealt with a variety of topics, including the importance of non-violence, the need for tolerance, and the importance of education.<\/p>\n The Bhabra Edict is one of the most famous of these edicts. It was found in the village of Bhabra in Uttar Pradesh, India. The edict states that Ashoka has made a number of reforms in his kingdom, including the abolition of capital punishment and the promotion of religious tolerance.<\/p>\n The other options are incorrect because they are not places where the Third Buddhist Council was held. Sanchi is a Buddhist stupa complex in Madhya Pradesh, India. Sarnath is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in Uttar Pradesh, India. Kalinga is a region in eastern India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Sanchi” option2=”Sarnath” option3=”Bhabra” option4=”Kalinga” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[950],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jainism-and-buddhism","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n
