Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1 and 3 only
Garba is the circular folk dance of Gujarat and Yakshagana is the traditional dance-drama of coastal Karnataka—both correctly matched. Mohiniyattam is a classical dance form of Kerala, not Odisha, so pair 2 is incorrect. Therefore pairs 1 and 3 only are correct.
