D Correct answer
Explanation

Bhishma was killed by Shikhandi (born Amba) in the Kurukshetra war. Because of Bhishma's vow not to attack women, he would not raise weapons against Shikhandi, allowing Arjuna to hide behind Shikhandi and rain arrows on Bhishma. Shakuni, Shalya, and Satyaki were not directly responsible for Bhishma's death.
