The correct answer is A) to maintain the balance between good and evil.
In Hindu mythology, Vishnu is considered the preserver and protector of the universe. His main function is to maintain cosmic order (Dharma) and balance between good and evil. He incarnates in various forms (called avatars) to restore this balance whenever it is threatened.
