Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

Umakant and Ramakant Gundecha are internationally recognized exponents of the Dhrupad vocal tradition of Hindustani classical music. Official sources describe the “Gundecha Brothers” as leading Dhrupad vocalists and note their prominence within the Dagarvani/Dhrupad style [1]. Program notes and biographies state they trained under the Dagar lineage (Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar and Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar) and have performed extensively as Dhrupad vocalists, accompanied by traditional instruments and students within the Dhrupad tradition [2]. Institutional recognition of their contribution to Hindustani vocal music is documented by awards and profiles, further confirming their identity as Dhrupad singers rather than dancers or instrumentalists [3].
