B Correct answer
Explanation

Pandu succeeded his father as king because his elder brother Dhritarashtra was blind from birth and considered unfit to rule according to the customs of the time. This set up the central conflict between the Kauravas (Dhritarashtra's sons) and the Pandavas (Pandu's sons).
