B
Correct answer
Explanation
'Otherwise' correctly connects two contrasting ideas - the action taken and the consequence that would have occurred without it. The sentence means 'Mohit saved her; if not for that, he would have drowned.' The other options don't establish this logical relationship.
AI explanation
'Otherwise' correctly introduces the hypothetical consequence that would have occurred if the stated action hadn't happened — 'Mohit saved her, otherwise she would have been drowned' means without his help, drowning would have resulted. 'Lest,' 'than,' and 'but' don't fit this cause-and-hypothetical-consequence relationship grammatically.
