Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Includes statement (B) which incorrectly states Mohiniyattam belongs to Andhra Pradesh, when it actually originates from Kerala.
Option 2 -> Includes statement (B) which is incorrect about the state of origin, making this option wrong.
Option 3 -> Contains statements (A), (C), and (D) - all accurate: Vishnu devotion is central to the theme, it combines Bharatanatyam's grace with Kathakali's vigor, and the white Kasavu sari with jasmine flowers is the traditional attire.
Option 4 -> Excludes statement (A) which is correct about the Vishnu devotion theme, and includes incorrect statement (B).
Hence, Option 3: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Statement (B) is incorrect as Mohiniyattam is a classical dance form from Kerala, not Andhra Pradesh. All other statements accurately describe this graceful dance form's themes, characteristics, and traditional costume -> correct
