Explanation:

Option A is correct: During the Buddha's lifetime, none of his teachings were recorded in written format. Following Mahaparinirvana, the first Buddhist Council was held in Rajagriha, under the patronage of King Ajatashatru, presided over by Mahakassapa, in 483 BC. Here Consensus was arrived at on how to compile the teachings of Gautama Buddha. These compilations, known as Tipitaka or "three baskets," were: 1. The Vinaya Pitaka- contained guidelines for those entering the monastic order (Sangha), and is attributed to Upali.( Hence Pair 1 is correctly matched) 2. The Sutta Pitaka contains the teachings of Lord Buddha and is attributed to Ananda. ( Hence Pair 3 is incorrectly matched) 3. The Abhidhamma Pitaka explored philosophical themes and is attributed to Sarriputta. ( Hence Pair 2 is incorrectly matched) Each pitaka consisted of various individual texts. Subsequently, Buddhist scholars composed commentaries on these texts.
