(B) Mahua and Kadamba
The Mundas and Santhal tribals of the Chota Nagpur region worship the mahua (Bassia latifolia) and kadamba (Anthocephalus cadamba) trees.
The answer is directly stated in the "Sacred Groves" passage. Note that peepal and banyan are sacred to many Indians in general (not specifically Mundas/Santhals), and tamarind and mango are worshipped by tribals of Odisha and Bihar during weddings — both are common distractors here.
