The correct answer is option 3: 2 only.

Explanation:

- Option 1 states that the period was marked by the growing eminence of Sadarang Neamat Khan who introduced the khayal form. This statement is correct. Sadarang Neamat Khan was a prominent musician in the 18th century who played an important role in popularizing the khayal form of singing.

- Option 2 states that a large number of musicians moved out of regional centers to Delhi where they hoped to receive more employment and patronage. This statement is also correct. Delhi was a major cultural center during the 18th and 19th centuries, and many musicians sought opportunities there.

- Option 3 states that the period was marked by the formation of specific region-based gharanas. However, this statement is not correct. The formation of gharanas (schools or lineages of musicians) was more prevalent in the 19th and 20th centuries, rather than the 18th and 19th centuries.

Therefore, only option 2 is incorrect.
