The question focuses on the historical relationship expressed in “The ninth mandala of the Rigveda is dedicated to —”. Its value lies in connecting Soma with the relevant chronology, institution, patronage, text, region or administrative function.
The ninth mandala of the Rigveda is devoted to Soma Pavamana, the purifying Soma. Its hymns celebrate the pressing, filtering, offering and divine power of Soma. Soma fits that evidence because it matches the specific chronology, agency and function contained in the question. A comparison with the alternatives is useful: Indra, Varuna and Agni are genuine historical terms or names, but each belongs to a different office, patron, text, region or sequence. The compact memory link is therefore Soma together with the factual context above, not the isolated option letter.
