B Correct answer
Explanation

Shishupala, king of Chedi, was killed by Krishna during Yudhishthira's Rajasuya sacrifice after committing 100 offenses. Krishna had promised his cousin (and Shishupala's mother) that he would forgive Shishupala's first 100 transgressions, but would kill him if he committed a 101st offense. Jarasandh was killed by Bhima in a wrestling duel, Drishtadyumn survived the Kurukshetra war, and Shalya was killed by Yudhishthira.
