Option B is correct because in the poem, 'दीप' (lamp) is used metaphorically for the royal lineage, life, and the hopes of Jhansi. The phrase 'बुझा दीप झाँसी का' implies that with the death of the king and no heir left, the hopes and future of the Jhansi kingdom were destroyed. This is further supported by the subsequent lines where Dalhousie rejoices and takes advantage of this situation to annex the state ('राज्य हड़प करने का उसने यह अच्छा अवसर पाया'). Option A is the consequence, not the metaphorical meaning, while C and D do not capture the broader symbolic destruction of the state's hopes.
