Solution
The correct option is D Hindustani
Hindustani music is one of the two principal types of South Asian classical music, found mainly in the northern part of the subcontinent. It emerged from Persian music, particularly through the influence of Sufi composers like Amir Khusro, and later in the Mughal courts. Islamic conquest of northern parts of the subcontinent introduced highly influential Arab and Persian musical practices that then merged with Hindu traditions.
