B Correct answer
Explanation

Krishna was indeed the grandson of Kuntibhoja. Kunti (also called Pritha), daughter of Shoorsena, was adopted by Kuntibhoja. She married Pandu and became mother of the Pandavas. Vasudeva (Krishna's father) was Kunti's brother. Therefore, Krishna, son of Vasudeva, was Kuntibhoja's grandson (through his adopted daughter Kunti).
