To answer this question, we need to understand the relationships in the Mahabharata epic.

Bhishma, also known as Bhishma Pitamah, was the son of King Shantanu and the river goddess Ganga. However, Bhishma had no stepbrothers.

Option A) Santanu - This option is incorrect because Santanu is the father of Bhishma, not his stepbrother.
