A Correct answer
Explanation

When Krishna offered to divide his resources between Arjuna and Duryodhana before the war, Arjuna chose to have Krishna himself as his charioteer and advisor (not fighting), while Duryodhana chose Krishna's powerful Narayani Sena (army). Krishna had also stipulated that he would not fight in the war. This strategic choice by both sides shaped the course of the Kurukshetra war.
