The king tied her to his javelin and hurled it to the other side of the river.

The correct answer is Option B.

As mentioned in the passage, the king was attacked by enemies when he went hunting with his daughter. He fled till he met a fast flowing river which he could not cross because of his daughter on his back. He was a famous javelin thrower. He used his intelligence, tied his daughter to the javelin and hurled it with all his strength to the other side of the river.
