• B. A, B, C, D Only
• C. B, C, D, E Only
• D. A, D, B, E Only

Hint:

Jayadratha played a major role in the Chakravyuha episode involving Abhimanyu.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1:
Karna, Śalya, Droņācārya, and Jayadratha are major characters of Mahābhārata.

Step 2:
Virādha belongs to the Rāmāyaņa tradition, not Mahābhārata.

Step 3:
Thus, Virādha should be excluded from the list.

Step 4:
Hence, the correct group is: \[ A,\; C,\; D,\; E \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(1) A, C, D, E Only}} \]
