Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(विचित्रवीर्य)
महाभारत की वंशावली के अनुसार, अर्जुन के पिता पाण्डु थे और पाण्डु के पिता महाराज विचित्रवीर्य (हस्तिनापुर के राजा) थे। अतः अर्जुन के पितामह (दादा) विचित्रवीर्य थे (जबकि महाराज शांतनु अर्जुन के प्रपितामह / परदादा थे)।
According to the genealogy of the Mahabharata, Arjuna was the son of Pandu, and Pandu was the son of King Vichitravirya of Hastinapur. Therefore, the paternal grandfather (Pitamaha) of Arjuna was Vichitravirya (while King Shantanu was his great-grandfather).
