The correct answer is

Vinaya Pitaka

The sacred Buddhist canon is compiled in three collections known as the Tripitaka, meaning the three baskets.

The Vinaya Pitaka contains the rules and regulations of discipline governing the conduct of monks and nuns in the monastic order (Sangha).

The Sutta Pitaka records the discourses and teachings of the Buddha, while the Abhidhamma Pitaka deals with philosophical and psychological analysis; the Anguttara Nikaya is a part of the Sutta Pitaka.

Hence, the rules of conduct for monastic life are mentioned in the Vinaya Pitaka.
