C Correct answer
Explanation

In the Mahabharata, Karna was born to Kunti through her invocation of Surya, the Sun God, making Surya his biological father. Kunti received a boon from Sage Durvasa that allowed her to invoke any deity and bear a child. She tested this boon by invoking Surya before her marriage, resulting in Karna's birth. This divine parentage is central to Karna's character arc.
