D Correct answer
Explanation

In the Ramayana, King Janaka possessed the divine bow of Shiva (Pinaka). He set the condition that whoever could string this heavy bow would marry Sita. Rama succeeded where others failed, demonstrating his divine strength. Vishnu's bow is not associated with this test, and neither Janaka's nor Lakshmana's bow were used.
