B Correct answer
Explanation

In the Mahabharata, Arjuna (also known as Phalguna, born under the Phalguna nakshatra) received the mighty Pashupatastra from Lord Shiva (Mahadev) after severe penance. This divine weapon was one of the most powerful astras in Hindu mythology. Gandeev was Arjuna's bow, Divyastra was another celestial weapon he possessed, and Sudarshan Chakra belonged to Lord Vishnu/Krishna, not given to Arjuna by Shiva.
