Solution

The correct option is D Agastiyar
According to the Manikandan, there were 22 principal Siddhas. Of these 22, Agasthya (or Agastiyar) is believed to be the father of Siddha medicine. Siddhars believed that a healthy soul can only be developed through a healthy body.
So the correct option is 'Agastiyar'.
