Correct Answer :

Option A

Kuru

Solution :

The correct option is Kuru.

According to the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, both the Kauravas and the Pandavas belonged to the Kuru clan or ruling dynasty. This lineage traces its origin back to King Kuru, a legendary king who established the Kuru kingdom, which was situated in the Ganga-Yamuna Doab region of ancient India. Since both groups of cousins were descendants of King Kuru, the family they belonged to is known as the Kuru family.
