The correct answer is option 3, Gandhara. The school of Indian art referred to as the Greco-Roman-Buddhist art is the Gandhara school. This school of art was influenced by the cultural exchange between the Gandhara region (now in modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan) and the Greek and Roman civilizations. Gandhara art emerged during the Kushan Empire in the 1st to 5th centuries CE. It is characterized by a blend of Indian, Greek, and Roman artistic elements and techniques. This art form depicted mainly Buddhist themes, including Buddha statues and narrative scenes from the life of Buddha. The Gandhara school is known for its realistic and highly detailed sculptures, often featuring Greek-inspired drapery and physical features, with a touch of Indian artistic sensibilities.
