Answer: Kama
Option c is the correct answer.
In context of Indian culture, Ananga is one among the numerous names of Kama or Kamdev, the Hindu God of Love. Shiva permitted Kamdev to live bodiless. That is why Kamdev is also called "Anang" (bodiless) and so. Kamdev is believed to be such a God who does not have a body but lives in the form of affection and desire.
