Hinduism

Buddhism
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Buddhists do not believe in any kind of deity or god, although there are supernatural figures who can help or hinder people on the path towards enlightenment. Born on the Nepali side of the present day Nepal-India border, Siddhartha Gautama was a prince around the fifth century B.C.E.

Detailed explanation-2: -Indeed, since Siddhartha was born into a Hindu family, Buddhism is considered to have originated in part from the Hindu religious tradition and some Hindus revere Buddha as an incarnation of a Hindu deity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Historical evidence indicates that Jesus knew about Buddhism, simply because both he and it were in Judea during the same time. Other evidence, while perhaps apocryphal, indicates that he spent most of his so-called lost years outside Judea, possibly in Kashmir to study Buddhism exclusively.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vajrapāṇi (Buddhist deity) Mañjuśrī (Buddhist deity) Avalokiteśvara (Buddhist deity)
