D Correct answer
Explanation

Madri was the second wife of Pandu and the biological mother of Nakula and Sahadeva. She invoked the Ashwini Kumaras (twin divine physicians) through a mantra given to her by Kunti. After Pandu's death, Madri performed sati (self-immolation), leaving Kunti to raise all five Pandava brothers. Note: The question has a typo - 'Pandawas' should be 'Pandavas'.
