    C.

    Chakrasana

    D.

    Sukhasana

    Correct option is A

    Correct Answer: (A) Vajrasana
    Explanation:
    → Vajrasana, also known as the Thunderbolt Pose or Diamond Pose, is one of the best yoga asanas for strengthening the knees and improving joint flexibility.
    → In this posture, one sits on their heels with the spine erect and hands resting on the thighs, which helps in stretching and strengthening the knee and ankle joints.
    → Regular practice of Vajrasana enhances blood circulation to the lower body, improves digestion, and stabilizes the mind.
    → It is unique because it is one of the few asanas that can be performed immediately after meals, aiding in digestion and muscle relaxation.
    Information Booster:
    Sanskrit meaning: Vajra = thunderbolt, Asana = posture.
    → Strengthens knees, thighs, ankles, and calf muscles.
    → Enhances blood circulation and digestive health.
    → Improves posture and spinal alignment.
    → Promotes mental calmness and concentration.
    → Helpful in managing joint stiffness and arthritis-related issues.
    → Commonly used for meditation and pranayama practices due to its stability.
    Additional Information (Other Options):
    Option (B) Tadasana – Improves posture and balance but not directly linked to knee strengthening.
    Option (C) Chakrasana – Strengthens the back and arms; puts stress on knees, not suitable for knee issues.
    Option (D) Sukhasana – Simple cross-legged posture for meditation; does not significantly strengthen the knees.
