Solution

The correct option is B Jatra
Folk theatre is named jata in Bengal. The jatra, also popular in Orissa and eastern Bihar, originated in Bengal in the 15th century as a result of the bhakti movement. Jatra performances resemble the Nautanki of Uttar Pradesh, the Tamasha of Maharashtra and Bhavai of Gujarat. The performance consists of action-packed dialogue with only about six songs.
