Answer 1

Theravada (also known as Hinayana, the vehicle of the Hearers), Mahayana, and Vajrayana.

Step-by-step explanation:

Theravada-the more conservative of the two major traditions of Buddhism (the other being Mahayana), and a school of Hinayana Buddhism. It is practiced mainly in Sri Lanka, Burma (Myanmar), Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.

Mahayana-one of the two major traditions of Buddhism, now practiced in a variety of forms especially in China, Tibet, Japan, and Korea. The tradition emerged around the 1st century AD and is typically concerned with altruistically oriented spiritual practice as embodied in the ideal of the Bodhisattva.

Vajrayana- the Tantric tradition of Buddhism, especially when regarded as distinct from the Mahayana tradition from which it developed.
