B Correct answer
Explanation

Bhima killed Jarasandha in a wrestling match that lasted 13 days. According to the Mahabharata, Krishna strategically planned this duel to eliminate Jarasandha, who was an obstacle to the Pandavas' Rajasuya sacrifice. The fight ended when Bhima tore Jarasandha's body apart in two halves, a feat made possible by Krishna's hint about Jarasandha's birth secret. Neither Arjuna, Yudhisthira, nor Krishna fought Jarasandha directly - this was Bhima's designated challenge.
