D

प
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Jha)

विकल्प (B) सही है क्योंकि प्रत्येक स्पर्श वर्ग का चतुर्थ वर्ण (4) सघोष और महाप्राण होता है; 'झ' च-वर्ग का चतुर्थ वर्ण होने से सघोष महाप्राण है। विकल्प (A) 'क' और (D) 'प' अघोष अल्पप्राण हैं। विकल्प (C) 'ठ' अघोष महाप्राण है।

Option (B) is correct because the 4th consonant of any stop class is both voiced and aspirated; 'Jha' is the 4th consonant of the Cha-varga. Options (A) and (D) are voiceless and unaspirated. Option (C) is voiceless and aspirated.
