Complete answer:
 Other than Buddha, he was also called Siddhartha, this was the name given to him after birth, it was more like a personal name, the meaning of this name was someone who achieves the highest aim. Buddha had a clan name as well, it was Gautama/ He was also famously called Shakyamuni which meant sage of the shakya clan. In a lot of Buddhist teachings he is referred as Bhagavat which is translated into the lord or the ruler.
Buddha was born in Lumbini which is now in Nepal. He was born to Shiddhidhana, king of the Shakya clan. As a prince he lived life full of comfort and luxury. His father was very protective of him and thus prevented him from seeing any ill realities of life society, such as sickness, old age etc. He was married to princess Yashodhara at the young age of sixteen. His life went an extreme change at the mere age of twenty nine when he noticed an old sick man during one of his rare visits in the city. Now that he was exposed to all these troubles of life, he felt uncomfortable living the life he was living before. He wanted to leave and retire in the forest.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:: Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment under a bodhi tree, at this moment he became heavily absorbed into meditation and reflected on all of his life experiences. The place where he gained enlightenment is now known as Bodhgaya which is in Bihar.
