Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct matching of exponents to their respective classical dance forms is as follows: Surendranath Jena was a legendary exponent and guru of Odissi (A-4), known for his unique style incorporating temple sculpture poses. Pushpa Bhuyan was a distinguished dancer primarily associated with Bharatnatyam (B-3), though she also contributed to Sattriya. Pandit Birju Maharaj was the preeminent doyen of the Lucknow Kalka-Bindadin gharana of Kathak (C-2), a fact supported by general cultural knowledge regarding his global influence on the form. Kalamandalam Sankaran Embranthiri was a celebrated musician and performer in the Kathakali tradition (D-1), particularly noted for his mastery of Kathakali Sangeetham. While the provided snippets focus on the historical evolution of dance forms like Bharatnatyam and Kathak [c1][c2], internal expertise confirms these specific artist-dance pairings. Therefore, the correct code sequence is 4-3-2-1.
