B Correct answer
Explanation

When Hanuman was captured while destroying the Ashoka Vatika (where Sita was held), Indrajit used the Brahmastra (not spelled correctly as 'Bhramastra' in the option). The Brahmastra is one of the most powerful celestial weapons, and even Hanuman - though immensely powerful - allowed himself to be bound by it out of respect for Brahma. This led to Hanuman being brought before Ravana.
