AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the Hindu mythology related to Kamadeva.

Kamadeva, also known as the Hindu god of love and desire, was killed by Lord Shiva. The story goes that Kamadeva tried to awaken feelings of love in Lord Shiva by shooting an arrow at him. However, this act angered Shiva, who opened his third eye and reduced Kamadeva to ashes.

Now let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Ravan - This option is incorrect because Ravan is a character from the Hindu epic Ramayana, and there is no mention of Ravan killing Kamdev.

Option B) Vishnu - This option is incorrect because Vishnu is one of the Hindu trinity gods and is not associated with killing Kamdev.

Option C) Brahma - This option is incorrect because Brahma, another deity in Hinduism, is not associated with killing Kamdev.

Option D) Shiva - This option is correct because Lord Shiva is the one who killed Kamdev, as explained earlier.

The correct answer is D) Shiva. This option is correct because Lord Shiva is the deity responsible for killing Kamdev.
