Solution

The correct option is C Tamil Nadu
Bharatnatyam is considered the mother art of most of the other classical dances of India and inspires many art forms like sculpture and painting. It originated in southern India in the state of Tamilnadu and started as a temple dance tradition called Dasiyattam. ‘Bharata’ is a mnemonic comprising ‘bha’, ‘ra’ and ‘ta’ which respectively means ‘bhava’ that is emotion and feelings; ‘raga’ that is melody; and ‘tala’ that is rhythm and Natyam means dance.
