D Correct answer
Explanation

Urmila was Laxman's wife in the Ramayana. She was the daughter of King Janaka of Mithila and sister of Sita. When Laxman accompanied Lord Ram and Sita to their 14-year exile, Urmila chose to stay back and sleep for 14 years to symbolize her sacrifice - a concept known as 'Urmila Nidra.' In some versions, she slept so Laxman could stay awake to protect Ram and Sita.
