B Correct answer
Explanation

Gatotkacha (Ghatotkacha) was the son of Bheema and Hidimbaa, a Rakshasi woman whom Bheema married during the Pandavas' forest exile. Gatotkacha inherited both divine strength from his father (being Vayu's grandson) and magical powers from his mother. He played a crucial role in the Kurukshetra war, particularly in fighting Karna. Draupadi was Bheema's wife, not Gatotkacha's mother.
