Answer & Explanation

Answer: [D]

Jivaka, also known as Jivaka Komarabhacca, was a renowned physician during the time of Gautama Buddha. He was a skilled and respected doctor who treated both the Buddha and his disciples. Jivaka is mentioned in several Buddhist scriptures, including the Vinaya Pitaka, as a prominent figure in the early Buddhist community.
