Ulupi was the Naga (snake) princess whom Arjuna married during his exile. She was the daughter of Kauravya, a Naga king.

Dushala was the only sister of the 100 Kauravas. She was married to Jayadratha, the king of Sindhu. Jayadratha was later killed by Arjuna to avenge Abhimanyu's death.

After being rejected by Dronacharya and other gurus, Karna was made king of Anga (modern-day Bhagalpur region) by Duryodhana to honor his friendship and skills.

Babruvahana (spelled Bribhuvahan in option D) was the son of Arjuna and Chitrangada, princess of Manipur. He later defeated Arjuna in battle.

Adhiratha was a charioteer who found infant Karna floating in a basket and raised him as his foster son along with his wife Radha. Karna was therefore known as Radheya.

Shikhandi was born female (as Amba) and later transformed to male. Since Bhishma had vowed not to fight any woman or anyone born as woman, the Pandavas positioned Shikhandi in front, making Bhishma lay down his arms.

During the Pandavas' final year of incognito exile at King Virat's court, Bhima disguised himself as Ballava, a cook in the royal kitchen. His strength made him skilled at wrestling multiple people at once in the kitchen.

Uttara was King Virat's daughter who married Abhimanyu (son of Arjuna and Subhadra). Their son Parikshit was the sole survivor of the Pandava lineage after Kurukshetra war.

The Ganga is the longest river flowing entirely within India at approximately 2,525 km. The Brahmaputra is longer overall (2,900 km) but only flows through a portion of India as it originates in Tibet. The Godavari is the longest peninsular river but is shorter than the Ganga. Option D is a state name, not a river.

In Hindu mythology, the Ganga is considered the daughter of Himavat (the Mountain King), who is the personification of the Himalayas. Ganga descended from heaven to Earth through Lord Shiva's matted hair. The other rivers (Krishna, Godavari, Kaveri) have different mythological origins and are not associated with Himavat.
