Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correctly matched pair is Ankia Nat — Assam. Ankiya Naat (Ankiya-Nat) is a distinct one-act dramatic form pioneered by Srimanta Sankardev in Assam; these musical-dramatic compositions combining song, dance and dialogue were created to spread Neo-Vaishnavism and were traditionally performed in Assamese satras and namghars, making them characteristic of Assam’s theatrical tradition [1]. Multiple sources describe Ankiya Naat as a genre of Assamese religious drama (Bhaona/Ankia presentations) and link their origin and practice directly to Sankardev’s work in Assam [1]. This primary association establishes option (3) as the correct match.
