Teejan Bai, the recipient of the M. S. Subbulakshmi Centenary Award in 2016, is renowned for her expertise in the traditional performing art called Pandavani. This art form originates from the Indian state of Chhattisgarh and is primarily a narrative performance that recounts the tales of the epic Mahabharata.

Pandavani is known for its dynamic narration and vibrant musical accompaniment. It involves a solo performer who uses her voice to depict different characters and their dialogues from the epic. The performance is accompanied by various musical instruments like the harmonium, dholak, and manjira.

Option 1, Kannada classical vocal, is not correct as Teejan Bai is not associated with this form of classical vocal music.

Option 2, Kajari dance, is not correct as Kajari dance is a folk dance form mainly performed in the regions of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which is different from what Teejan Bai specializes in.

Option 3, Bihu dance, is also not correct as Bihu dance is an energetic folk dance from the Indian state of Assam, which is not associated with Teejan Bai.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Pandavani
