Solution

The correct option is C Lord Shiva
According to Gaddi folklore, long ago, Lord Shiva tested the loyalties of various communities herding livestock. Pleased by their loyalty to the occupation, Lord Shiva gave them his own garb of a chola (a woolen garment) and a topa (a hat) to keep warm. He also gave them a dhora (a stick). The Gaddis have made these a part of their attire to this day. He also gave them additional flocks of sheep and goats to herd for a living. Herding is their traditional occupation, and they practise it to this day.
