C Correct answer
Explanation

The Bhagavata Purana (Srimad Bhagavatam) describes 22 primary avatars of Lord Vishnu in Canto 1, Chapter 3. While the more famous list contains 10 avatars (Dasavatara), the full text enumerates 22 incarnations including lesser-known ones like Dhanvantari, Mohini, and various sages. This reflects the expansive Puranic tradition beyond the standard 10-avatar list.
