A Correct answer
Explanation

Bhagadatta (also spelled Bhogadatta) was the powerful king of Pragjyotisha (modern Assam) who rode the fearsome elephant Supratika into battle. This elephant caused massive destruction in the Pandava ranks before being slain by Arjuna. Bhagadatta, who had received the boon of an invincible elephant from his father, fought on the Kaurava side and was ultimately killed by Arjuna. The confusion in option B (bhagadutta) is a common misspelling.
