B Correct answer
Explanation

Bhishma won three princesses - Amba, Ambika, and Ambalika - for his half-brother Vichitravirya to marry. Amba, however, refused to marry Vichitravirya as she was already in love with another king. Ambuja is not one of the sisters mentioned in the Mahabharata narrative; it appears to be a fabricated option. The three sisters were all daughters of the King of Kashi.
