Solution

The correct option is D 1,2 and 3
Khyal or Khayal is a major form of Hindustani classical music. Khyal is associated with romantic poetry, and allows the performer greater freedom of expression than dhrupad.

It has often been speculated that khyal was created by Amir Khusrau, but the evidence for this is insufficient. Most scholars agree that khyal was the outcome of a gradual process of evolution that occured in the Delhi Sultanate.

he Sharqui rulers of Jaunpur were great patrons of fine art such as architecture, painting and music. They patronised khyal to a great extent in the 14th and 15th centuries.
