A Correct answer
Explanation

After Karna's death on the 17th day of the war, Shalya was appointed commander-in-chief of the Kaurava forces for the final 18th day. Shalya, who was actually the maternal uncle of Nakula and Sahadeva and had been forced to fight for the Kauravas, led the army reluctantly. He was killed by Yudhishthira in a spear combat duel on the last day. Salya took command after Duryodhana personally requested him to lead.
