B Correct answer
Explanation

Ravana's father was Vishrava, a revered sage and the son of Pulastya Brahma. Vishrava was also the father of Kubera (the god of wealth) and Vibhishana. The family lineage is significant: Pulastya → Vishrava → (Ravana, Kubera, Vibhishana, Kumbhakarna). Vishrava's wisdom contrasted sharply with Ravana's arrogance, creating the moral framework for the Ramayana conflict.
