Correct option is C

The construction of Stupas, Chaityas, and Viharas is associated with Buddhism. These structures played a central role in the spread and practice of Buddhism in ancient India and beyond.

Stupa: A stupa is a dome-shaped structure that contains relics and is used as a place of meditation and worship. The most famous stupa is the Great Stupa at Sanchi.
Chaitya: A chaitya refers to a prayer hall with a stupa inside. These are rock-cut structures found in places like Ajanta Caves.
Vihara: A vihara is a monastery or dwelling place for Buddhist monks. It often includes living quarters, study halls, and spaces for meditation.
These structures were vital for Buddhist religious practices and were often located along trade routes, which helped in the dissemination of Buddhist teachings across Asia.
