C Correct answer
Explanation

Siddhartha Gautama was the birth name of Buddha, who was born as a prince in Lumbini. Yashodhara was his wife, not his name. The name 'Buddha' meaning 'the awakened one' was given to him after his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Note: Option C has a typo - should be Siddhartha, not Siddaratha.
