In which Pitaka of the Tripitaka are the discourses and teachings of the Buddha contained ?
Sutta Pitaka
The Tripitaka ("three baskets") is the Pali canon of Theravada Buddhism, compiled at the early Buddhist councils. Its three parts are the Sutta, Vinaya and Abhidhamma Pitakas.
The Sutta Pitaka collects the discourses (suttas) and teachings of the Buddha, arranged in the Nikayas such as the Digha and Majjhima Nikaya.
The Vinaya Pitaka holds the rules of monastic discipline for monks and nuns, and the Abhidhamma Pitaka holds philosophical and psychological analysis of the doctrine. A Dharani Pitaka is not one of the three baskets.
Sutta Pitaka option is correct.
