Solution

The correct option is B Orion
Orion, the constellation that looks like a hunter with a bow, is helpful in locating the star Sirius - the brightest star in the night sky as seen from earth.

An imaginary line from one of the three stars in the waist region of the hunter, can be extrapolated to meet the brightest-looking star Sirius.
