B Correct answer
Explanation

Urvasi is a celebrated novel by Malayalam writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer. While Basheer did receive the Jnanpith Award (in 1984), it was for his overall contribution to Malayalam literature, not specifically for the novel Urvasi. The Jnanpith Award is given for a writer's complete body of work, not for a single book. Therefore, the statement 'Urvasi named book got Jnanpith Award' is technically false.
