Correct answer: (A) Nalanda
Explanation

The Chinese scholars Yijing and Xuanzang travelled to Nalanda in the seventh century of the common era.

Xuanzang himself became a student of Yogashastra at this celebrated centre.

Takshashila lay in the north-west and predates this period as a learning hub.

Vallabhi in Gujarat was a later Buddhist centre but not the one they described.

Odantpuri was a monastic university founded still later under the Palas.

Nalanda's fame drew pilgrims and scholars from across Asia.
