B Correct answer
Explanation

According to Hindu mythology, Kerala was created when Parasurama (the warrior-sage avatar of Vishnu) threw his axe into the ocean and the sea receded, exposing the land. This legend explains the region's origin and its name meaning 'land of coconuts.' The other options reference different mythological events (samudra manthana, Vamana, Varaha) but are not associated with Kerala's creation.
