B Correct answer
Explanation

Rishi Kindama (also spelled Kindam) cursed Pandu because Pandu accidentally killed the sage and his wife while they were in the form of deer engaging in intercourse. The curse stated that Pandu would die if he ever engaged in sexual intercourse, which shaped the rest of his life and led to his eventual death. Rishi Vyasa was Pandu's father, not the one who cursed him.
