C.

5

D.

2

Correct option is C


Correct Option: c)
Raganga is a system of classifying ragas within a Thaat based on their core melodic structure (ang) or a defining set of phrases.
Information Booster:
· The Kafi Thata Janya Ragas are divided into five Ragangas.
· This classification, as per scholars like Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande, helps organize the numerous ragas derived from the Kafi scale ( S R g M P D n).
· The five Ragangas typically recognized are:
1. Kafi Ang,
2. Bhimpalasi Ang,
3. Bageshree Ang,
4. Bahar Ang,
5. Sindhura Ang.
· Each ang represents a cluster of ragas that share the primary melodic characteristics of that leading raga.
Additional Knowledge:
· The other numbers ( 2, 3, 4) are incorrect as they undercount the distinct melodic families that have evolved from the prolific Kafi Thaat.
