C Correct answer
Explanation

Karna used the divine weapon Shakti (given to him by Indra in exchange for his armor) to kill Ghatotkacha, Bhima's half-demon son, who was single-handedly decimating the Kaurava army at night. Karna had been saving this weapon for Arjuna, but Duryodhana implored him to use it against Ghatotkacha, forcing Karna to sacrifice his most powerful weapon.
