C Correct answer
Explanation

Takshila (also known as Taxila) was indeed one of the world's earliest centers of higher learning, dating back to at least the 7th century BCE in ancient India. However, the question is ambiguous as Nalanda is more commonly cited as the first formal university. Option A also contains a typo - it should be 'Varanasi' not 'Varnasi'. The question doesn't specify the time period or what qualifies as a 'university'.
