Answer 1

The correct option is B Sati

Sati was a horrific Indian custom of a woman self-immolating after her husband's death. This means that a woman was asked to jump into the fire after her husband’s death. The wives of Rajputs and the Marathas also self-immolated if their husbands were expected to die during battles. This was known as Jauhar.
