C Correct answer
Explanation

Jagannath (Jagat + Nath) is a Sanskrit compound where 'Jagat' means 'world/universe' and 'Nath' means 'lord/master', so the literal translation is 'Lord of the World'. This is accurate terminology used in Hinduism to describe Lord Vishnu's form worshipped at Puri. Option D 'King of the kings' is poetic but not the literal meaning.
