B10 mandalas and 1028 suktas
C10 mandalas and 1017 suktas
D8 mandalas and 1000 suktas
Correct Answer: 10 mandalas and 1028 suktasYour Answer: B

Explanation

Correct answer: 10 मंडल और 1028 सूक्त. The received Rigveda is arranged in ten mandalas and contains 1,028 hymns when the eleven Valakhilya hymns are included. The source tradition places the person, work and event in a defined historical setting. 10 mandalas and 1028 suktas fits that evidence because it matches the specific chronology, agency and function contained in the question. A comparison with the alternatives is useful: 12 mandalas and 1028 suktas, 10 mandalas and 1017 suktas and 8 mandalas and 1000 suktas are genuine historical terms or names, but each belongs to a different office, patron, text, region or sequence. Reading the question as a relationship among person, period, place and institutional purpose prevents that mistake. The compact memory link is therefore 10 mandalas and 1028 suktas together with the factual context above, not the isolated option letter.
