Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Sonargaon originally Svarnagrama or Suvarnagrama, denotes an ancient janapada (territory) of Vanga stretched on both banks of the Brahmaputra, which is said to have originally been inhabited by a race called Svarna - bhushita, literally meaning 'dressed up with gold' and signifying a people traditionally adorned with gold - wear.

The antiquity of this region may be traced back to the period of Kuru - Pandava war described in the Mahabharata, and even earlier.
