The correct answer is option 3- Dhanwantari. In Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine originated in India, Dhanwantari is revered as the "God of Medicine". He is considered to be the founder of Ayurveda and is believed to have emerged during the time of the cosmic churning of the ocean. Dhanwantari is said to have brought the elixir of life, known as Amrit, which bestowed immortality and wellbeing upon those who consumed it. He is often depicted as a divine healer and is worshipped by practitioners of Ayurveda for his knowledge and expertise in medicine. Therefore, option 3 is the correct choice.
