B Correct answer
Explanation

Raktabija was a demon who received a boon that every drop of his blood falling on earth would create a duplicate of him. This made him nearly impossible to kill through normal combat. Durga eventually defeated him by preventing his blood from touching the ground. Sumbha and Nishumbha were other demons she fought, but lacked this specific power.
