Solution
The correct options are A Dancing B Singing C Local languages Professional storytellers practised forms of art like Harikatha, where the performers and singers sang songs, and also danced sometimes, and narrated stories about gods and saints. These storytellers not only learnt stories from elders and religious teachers but also learnt new stories from people. They used to narrate these stories in the local languages as the common people did not know Sanskrit.
