Solution

The correct option is B Lord Shiva
The word “Nritya”, which means dance, comes from the sanskrit word “Nrit”. Indian dance forms are a medium to enjoy the beauty of Taal, which is the rhythm of the music, and Laya, which is the harmony of music. Lord Shiva is believed to be the creator of dance. Hence, he is also known as Lord Natraj. It is believed that he taught the art of dance with the music he brought down from the heavens.
