Solution
The correct option is C Brahmaka
Colonial India saw the use of both western and Indian styles of clothing. The Brahmaka style of draping of the saree was popularised by Satyendranath Tagore’s wife, Giandaandini. She used to wear a Parsi style saree pinned to the left shoulder with a brooch and wore a matching blouse and shoes. Crinoline and corsets were the western style of clothing for women. Narrow and short skirts became popular post World War I.
