B Correct answer
Explanation

During the Samudra Manthan (churning of the cosmic ocean), when the amrit (nectar of immortality) emerged, Vishnu took the female form of 'Mohini' to distribute the amrit only to the gods (devas) and not to the demons (asuras). This form was so enchanting that even the demons were mesmerized, allowing Vishnu to ensure the amrit went only to the rightful recipients. Option B correctly identifies Mohini as the name Vishnu took while distributing the amrit.
