A Correct answer
Explanation

Sanjay is the correct answer. He was the son of a bard (suta) and served in Dhritarashtra's court. He was gifted with divine vision that allowed him to see events happening anywhere in the world, which enabled him to narrate the entire Kurukshetra war to the blind king in real-time. This gift was given to him by Sage Vyasa so Dhritarashtra could follow the battle. The other options are not the narrator with this power.
