D Correct answer
Explanation

Bhishma had the boon of Ichcha Mrityu (death at will) and chose to die during Uttarayan - the auspicious fortnight when the sun begins its northward journey (winter solstice to summer solstice). The other options are incorrect: Brahmkal and Sainkaal are not related terms, and Suprabhat refers to dawn.
