Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Amir Khusrau introduced many new ragas such as ghora and sanam. He evolved a new style of light music known as Qawwaalis by blending the Hindu and Iranian systems.

Khusrau is credited for the invention of the sitar. At the time, there were many versions of the Veena in India. He rechristened the 3 stringed Tritantri Veena as a Sehtaar (Persian for 3 stringed), which eventually became known as the sitar.
