D. Khemta
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

Correct Option: b)
Semi-classical forms like Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, etc., have a lighter, more romantic character than classical Dhrupad or Khayal.
Information Booster:
· Deepchandi (B) is a 14-matra tala (3+4+3+4) very commonly used for Thumri, Bhajan, and lighter forms.
· Khemta (D) is a 6-matra tala (often counted as 3+3) which is the standard tala for Dadra, a primary semi-classical form.
Additional Knowledge:
· Jhaptaal (A) is a 10-matra classical tala used in Khayal and instrumental music, not typically for lighter semi-classical forms.
· Gajjhampa (C) is an uncommon tala and is not standard accompaniment for mainstream semi-classical genres.
