The correct answer for the founder of `Vikram-shila University` is option 3, DharamPal. However, it is important to note that this answer is incorrect. The actual founder of Vikram-shila University was Dharmapala, not DharamPal. Dharmapala, a Pala dynasty ruler, established the university in the 8th century. The university was known for its prestigious Buddhist teachings and became a significant center of learning during the Pala Empire. It attracted scholars and students from various parts of the world and played a crucial role in the spread and development of Buddhism in India.
