B Correct answer
Explanation

Dharana is the 6th limb of Ashtanga Yoga and means 'concentration' or 'holding' - fixing the mind on a single object. Asana is posture, Pranayama is breath control, and Dhyana is meditation (uninterrupted flow of concentration). Dharana precedes Dhyana in the progression toward Samadhi.
