Correct option is D

Correct Option-d)
Thumri is performed in a variety of talas, but certain talas are particularly characteristic and widely used due to their lyrical, dance-friendly, and flexible rhythmic cycles.
Information Booster:
· The tala most famously and commonly used in Thumri is Deepchandi.
· Deepchandi is a 14-beat tala (divided 3+4+3+4) that provides a graceful, flowing rhythm ideal for expressing the shringara (romantic) and bhakti (devotional) sentiments of Thumri.
· It is especially prevalent in the Benaras gharana style of Thumri, where the Theka (basic pattern) allows for subtle layakari (rhythmic play) and syncopation.
· Other talas like Jhumra (14 beats, slow) and Punjabi (16 beats) are also used, but Deepchandi is almost synonymous with the classical Thumri repertoire.
Additional Knowledge:
· Sultaal is a 10-beat tala used in dhrupad and sometimes in older compositions, but it is not typical for Thumri.
· Tilwada is a 16-beat tala, very slow and majestic, primarily used in khyal singing, not in the lighter, more fluid Thumri.
· Jhumra is a 14-beat slow tala used in khyal (especially in the vilambit section) and occasionally in Thumri, but it is not as characteristically "the" tala of Thumri as Deepchandi is.
