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

हिंदू पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, समुद्र मंथन हेतु मथानी के रूप में मंद्राचल पर्वत तथा रस्सी के रूप में सर्पों के राजा वासुकी का प्रयोग किया गया था।

The churning of the ocean of milk (Ksira Sagar) was an elaborate process. Mount Mandara or Mandar Parvat was used as the churning rod and Vasuki, the king of serpents who abides on Shiva’s neck, became the churning rope. Lord Vishnu, in the form of Kurma Avtar, came to their rescue and supported the mountain on his back.
