Solution

The correct option is B King Birendra
Nepal witnessed an extraordinary popular movement in 1990s. The movement was aimed at restoring democracy. Although the king formally remained the head of the state, the real power was exercised by popularly elected representatives. King Birendra, who had accepted this transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy, was killed in a mysterious massacre of the royal family in 2001.
