D. Jati Gayan
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

Correct Option: b)
The medieval period in Indian music history (roughly 12th to 18th centuries) was a time of significant systematisation and development, leading to many of the structures we recognise today in Hindustani music.
Information Booster:
· Two key concepts that crystallised in the medieval period are:
· B. Mela Raga classification (the systematic organisation of ragas into parent scales, formalised by theorists like Vidyaranya and Ramamatya).
· C. Distinct styles of North and South India (the clear divergence into Hindustani and Carnatic systems began in this period, post-13th century).
Additional Knowledge:
· Dhruva Geet is a concept from the much earlier ancient period (Natyashastra, ~200 BCE-200 CE).
· Jati Gayan also belongs to the ancient musical system, predating the modern raga concept.
