The second Buddhist council was held in the reign of king ..............
Answer: D
The second Buddhist council was held in the reign of Kalashoka.
About a hundred years after the Buddha's death, the council met at Vaishali under the Shishunaga king Kalashoka (Kakavarnin) to settle disputes over ten points of monastic discipline raised by the Vajjian monks. The split that followed produced the Sthaviravadins and the Mahasanghikas.
The first council was held at Rajagriha under Ajatashatru, and the third at Pataliputra under Ashoka. Dhanananda was the last Nanda king, and Vitashoka was Ashoka's brother, not a king who convened a council.
