    D.

    D and A only

    Correct option is C


    Correct Option-c)
    The Pakhawaj is a barrel-shaped, two-headed drum primarily associated with the Dhrupad genre of Hindustani classical music, as well as with temple music, classical dance (like Odissi), and some devotional traditions.
    Information Booster:
    · The talas distinctly associated with the Pakhawaj are Sulatala and Dhamar.
    · Sulatala (also called Sooltal or Sultal) is a classic 10-beat tala (2+3+2+3) that is a pillar of the Dhrupad and Pakhawaj repertoire, featuring heavily in pre-composed rhythmic compositions.
    · Dhamar is a 14-beat tala (5+2+3+4) named after the Dhamar genre of singing, which is performed during the Holi festival.
    · It is almost exclusively played on the Pakhawaj and is central to its tradition.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Deepchandi is a 14-beat tala (3+4+3+4) that is primarily used for Thumri, Dadra, and light classical forms, and is traditionally played on the Tabla, not the Pakhawaj.
    · Ada Chautala (or Chautal) is a 12-beat tala (4+4+2+2) that is also a core Pakhawaj and Dhrupad tala. Therefore, option (C) is also correct.
