Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Bhagavatas)

वैष्णव धर्म का प्रारंभिक रूप भागवत धर्म के अंतर्गत देवकी-पुत्र भगवान वासुदेव कृष्ण के पूजन में दर्शित होता है, जो संभवतः छठी सदी ई.पू. के पहले स्थापित हो चुका था। वासुदेव जो कृष्ण का प्रारंभिक नाम था, पाणिनि के युग में प्रचलित था। उस युग में वासुदेव की उपासना करने वाले 'वासुदेवक' (भागवत) कहे जाते थे।

Under the Bhagavata religion, the initial form of Vaishnavism is shown in the worship of Lord Krishna, the son of Devaki. The initial name of Krishna was prevalent in the Panini age. The worshippers of Vasudev were known as Vasudevak (Bhagavata) in that age. According to Indian belief, Lord Krishna is considered as a supreme personality and has been worshipped since ancient ages.
