Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(नरीखंड)
भविष्य पुराण के ब्रह्मांडखंड में संथाल परगना और बीरभूम के संयुक्त भूभाग को 'नरीखंड' (Narikhand) नाम से अभिहित किया गया है। बाद में इसे 'कंकजोल' या 'कजंगला' भी कहा गया।
In ancient Hindu texts, particularly the Brahmanda Khanda of the Bhavishya Purana, the region encompassing Santhal Pargana and Birbhum was designated as 'Narikhand'. In later Buddhist and historical literature, parts of it were also referred to as 'Kajangala'.
