• B. b) Jaintia tribe
• C. c) Garo tribe

Answer 1

The correct option is D d) Bhutia tribe

23 Ans.D

Explanation: The Yak Chaam dance is performed by the Bhutia community to honour the Yak which is native to the state of Sikkim. The meat, wool, horns, hooves and every part of the Yak is used by the Sikimeese and there are many families which are dependent on the Yak for their survival. Perhaps this explains why there is a special dance that celebrates the Yak. The Yak Chaam dance also portrays the relationship between the herdsman and the Yak and draws parallel to the lives of many Bhutias
