  • A.Kumara
  • B.Varaha
  • C.Matsya
  • D.Narasimha

Answer: B

It is Varaha.

The boar incarnation of Vishnu lifts the earth, personified as Bhudevi, from the cosmic ocean where the demon Hiranyaksha had dragged her. The great relief at Udayagiri in Madhya Pradesh, of about 400, is the classic representation.
