Answer: B
Pusa Lalima is a cross between Dushehari × Sensation.
Pusa Lalima is a mango hybrid released by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. It combines the good fruit quality of the north Indian variety Dashehari with the red peel colour of the Florida variety Sensation, giving attractive red-blushed fruits suited to markets that prefer coloured mangoes.
The other crosses are not the parentage of Pusa Lalima. Sensation is the source of red colour in more than one IARI hybrid (Pusa Arunima, for example, is Amrapali × Sensation), but for Pusa Lalima the second parent is Sensation, not Lal Sundari, Vanraj or Haden.
