In Sanskrit, 'aṅga' (अङ्ग) means 'limb', 'part', 'body', 'component', or 'constituent part'. It refers to a part or portion of something whole.

B Correct answer
Explanation

In Sanskrit, 'anga' primarily means a part, limb, or component of something. It can refer to body parts, constituent elements, or divisions. 'Anga' was also the name of a kingdom, but that's a proper noun, not the primary meaning. 'Department' and 'wings' are more specific modern interpretations.
