Explanation:

- Lumbini: This is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, located in present-day Nepal. It is marked as a significant pilgrimage site but not where he gave his first sermon.

- Sarnath: This is the correct answer. Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon, known as the "Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta," which includes the Four Noble Truths, to his first five disciples here.

- Bodh Gaya: This is where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, not where he gave his first sermon.

- Rajgir: A significant site in Buddha's life where he spent time teaching, but it’s not where the first sermon was given.
