Answer: C
The first Buddhist Council was held at Rajagriha, in the Saptaparni cave, soon after the Buddha's death, about 483 BC, under the patronage of King Ajatashatru and the presidency of Mahakassapa. Ananda recited the Dhamma and Upali the Vinaya.
Gaya is where the Buddha attained enlightenment, Ujjain is not a site of the councils, and Amaravati is a famous stupa site but not a council. The later councils were at Vaishali, Pataliputra and Kashmir.
