B Correct answer
Explanation

When Hanuman was carrying the Dronagiri mountain (containing the Sanjivani herb to heal Lakshmana), Bharata shot him with an arrow, mistaking the flying mountain for a threat. This is a lesser-known episode from some versions of the Ramayana. Bharata ruled Ayodhya in Rama's absence and was vigilant about protecting the kingdom. Neither Shatrughna, Indrajita, nor Mahiravana shot Hanuman in this context.
