A.

Vajrasana

B.

Tadasana

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.
