B Correct answer
Explanation

Hiranyadhanu was Eklavya's father, a king of the Nishada tribe (hunter-warriors). Eklavya's exceptional skill in archery led Drona to demand his thumb as gurudakshina, preventing him from surpassing Arjuna. Drona was Eklavya's guru, Dhritarashtra was the Kaurava king, and Pandu was the Pandava father.
