D.Samasya ka hal dhoondh raha hai (is searching for solution to a problem)
Explanation
'Yativar' means 'great ascetic/yogi'. In the poem, the lines 'Kaisi akhand yah chir samadhi? Yativar! Kaisa yah amar dhyan?' clearly indicate that the Himalaya is being compared to a great ascetic deeply absorbed in eternal meditation (samadhi/dhyan). The poet sees the Himalaya's unmoving, profound presence as resembling a yogi in deep samadhi, which is why it is addressed as 'yativar'. The other options don't relate to the specific reason for the 'yativar' epithet.
