Correct Answer: Both I and II


Solution : The correct answer is Both I and II.

Vocals are used in the Indian musical genre known as thumri. It is particularly well-known in Uttar Pradesh. The lyrics are usually written in two Hindi dialects from Uttar Pradesh, Awadhi and Brij Bhasha. There are two varieties of Thumri singing: the Punjabi style, which is more mercurial, and the Poorab or Banaras form, which is very slow and staid.
