    Correct Answer: D

    Parashurama is most known for ridding the world of Kshatriyas over twenty-one times. Mahapadma Nanda, who has been described as "the destroyer of all the Kshatrryas", defeated the Panchalas, Kasis, Haihayas, Kalingas, Asmakas, Kurus, Maithilas, Surasenas and the Vitihotras. So, Mahapadma Nanda has been compared to Parashurama in the Puranas.
