B,C Correct answer
Explanation

In the Mahabharata's Draupadi svayamvara, both Karna and Arjuna successfully lifted the heavy bow (Gandiva or similar). Karna was about to complete the task but Draupadi rejected him due to his presumed low caste (being a charioteer's son). Arjuna then stepped up, completed the challenge, and won Draupadi's hand. Duryodhan and Shishupal failed to lift the bow.
