C Correct answer
Explanation

Abhimanyu, Arjun's son, learned about entering the chakravyuha while in his mother Subhadra's womb but didn't learn the exit. On day 13 of the Kurukshetra war, he broke through the formation but was trapped and killed unfairly by multiple Kaurava warriors who violated combat ethics. Sahdev was his uncle, while Karna and Ekalavya are unrelated to this specific incident.

Option B) Ekalavya - This option is incorrect. Ekalavya was a talented archer, but he did not possess the knowledge of entering or getting out of a chakravyuh.

Option C) Abhimanyu - This option is correct. Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna and Subhadra, possessed the knowledge of entering a chakravyuh but did not know how to get out of it.
