Solution

The correct option is B Veena
The veena is among the oldest of Indian musical instruments. It comes from Sanskrit and originally means every stringed instruments. Amir Khusrau served as courtier, royal poet and court musician under Turkish Sultans. He felt the need to modify the ancient veena for a more compact and easily portable alternative.
