C Correct answer
Explanation

The Mahabharata consists of 18 Parvas (books), which matches the number of days the Kurukshetra war was fought. The number 18 holds sacred significance in Hinduism - the Bhagavad Gita has 18 chapters, and the Pandava army had 11 divisions while the Kaurava army had 7, totaling 18. Each Parva covers different phases of the epic narrative.
