C
Correct answer
Explanation
Ashvathama became the last commander of the Kaurava army after the death of Shalya (who had taken command after Karna's death). As the commander, he led the night massacre of the sleeping Pandava army. The other options had earlier commands: Karna was the 3rd commander, Shalya was the 4th, and Kripacharya never held supreme command.
