Solution

The correct option is A Akash Ganga
Milky Way galaxy is often known as Akash Ganga in Hindi. This is because at the clear night, the entire galaxy looks like a white and wide river especially like River Ganga. This river shaped being in the sky is named as Akash which means sky. This is why it is called as Akash Ganga.
