B Correct answer
Explanation

In the Mahabharata, when Dronacharya demanded Arjuna as Gurudakshina, the Pandavas devised a plan where an elephant named Ashwatthama was killed by Bhima. Yudhishthira then announced 'Ashwatthama is dead' to deceive Drona, who believed his son had been killed. The spelling 'Vheem' is incorrect; the correct spelling is Bhima.
