D

Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Bahuvrihi)

उत्तराखण्ड लोक सेवा आयोग ने उत्तर विकल्प (c) बहुव्रीहि माना है। घनश्याम का विग्रह 'घन के समान श्याम' (कर्मधारय) और 'घन के समान श्याम है जो अर्थात् कृष्ण' (बहुव्रीहि) दोनों सम्भव है, अतः इसमें कर्मधारय एवं बहुव्रीहि दोनों समास हो सकते हैं।

Uttarakhand PSC considered option (c) Bahuvrihi. The word Ghanshyam can be analyzed both as Karmadharaya ('dark like clouds') and Bahuvrihi ('one who is dark like clouds, i.e., Krishna').
