Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Dharmapala

The title "Uttarapatha Swamin" was bestowed upon Dharmapala. Dharmapala was a 7th-century CE Buddhist monk and scholar from Bihar, India. He earned this title due to his significant contributions to spreading Buddhism in the northern parts of India, which were historically referred to as "Uttarapatha." ("Swamin" translates to "Lord" and "Uttarapatha" to "Northern Path").
