Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (Bhaageerathi)

'भगीरथ + ई' प्रत्यय से आदि वृद्धि होकर शुद्ध शब्द 'भागीरथी' (गंगा) बनता है, जिसमें 'गी' और 'थी' दोनों दीर्घ ई होती हैं।

'भागीरथी' (river Ganga, daughter of Bhagiratha) has initial lengthening 'भा' and long 'ई' on 'गी' and 'थी'.
