Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Baiju Bawra, also known as Baij Nath, was a legendary dhrupad musician of the 15th and 16th centuries. He was born in Champaner, Gujarat, and is historically associated with the court of Raja Man Singh Tomar of Gwalior, where he served alongside other masters like Bakshu [2]. Following the fall of Gwalior, Baiju Bawra found patronage under Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. While Tansen also received his early training and 'first break' at the court of Raja Man Singh Tomar, he later moved to the court of Rewa and eventually became one of the 'Navratnas' in Akbar's Mughal court. Lal Khan (Lal Kalawant) was a later musician, specifically the son-in-law of Tansen, who served during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Therefore, Baiju Bawra is the musician who served both Man Singh Tomar and Bahadur Shah of Gujarat.
