Answer 1

The correct option is D d) Bishti

D)

Explanation:

Bhistis wander the cramped alleyways of Old Delhi offering water from a goat hide canteen slung over their shoulder.

Bhishtis have been supplying businesses, pilgrims and passers-by with swigs from their swollen canteens since the Mughals ruled India, an era before piped water sounded the death knell for their trade.
