Correct Answer: Ustad Bismillah Khan
Solution : The correct answer is Ustad Bismillah Khan.
Ustad Bismillah Khan, born Qamaruddin Khan on 21 March 1916, earned India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 2001. Following his demise in 2006, the nation mourned with a designated day of national mourning. Renowned for his mastery of the Shehnai, a reeded woodwind instrument, Khan transformed it from a folk instrument associated with traditional ceremonies to a prominent feature on the concert stage, establishing himself as a celebrated figure in Hindustani classical music.
