  3. Bodhisattvas
  4. Yakshis
Explanation
Answer - C - Bodhisattvas usually attend Buddhas in Indian art.

Key Takeaway: In Indian art, Buddhas are usually found in very symmetrical poses facing front, with bodhisattvas (helpers) on their sides, sometimes attached directly to the nimbus. Bodhisattvas are typically enlightenment-beings who, motivated by compassion, have the wish to attain “Buddhahood” to benefit all beings of the world.
