The correct answer is (c) Sattriya.
'Mati-Akhora' refers to the basic foundational exercises in the classical dance form Sattriya, which originates from Assam, India.
These exercises are designed to build strength, flexibility, and control in the dancer's body, forming the basis for more complex movements and expressions in the dance.
Sattriya dance was introduced by the Vaishnavite saint Srimanta Sankardev in the 15th century as a medium for religious storytelling and devotion.
