The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In Unani medicine, Nashif means a drying agent — a substance that has the property of absorbing moisture or drying tissues.
Khushk choona (dry lime) is a classic example of a Nashif as it is used for its drying and desiccating properties in various conditions.
Beladur (marking nut) is mainly a vesicant and irritant, not a drying agent.
Suddab (Ruta graveolens) is a herb used for other medicinal actions but not specifically as Nashif.
Rewand (Rhubarb) is used as a purgative and tonic, not as a drying agent.
Hence, the correct answer is Khushk choona.
