Correct Answer: Kathak


Solution : The correct answer is Kathak .

Thumri, tracing back to the 19th century, originated as the bandish ki thumri or bol-baant linked to Kathak dance in Lucknow's court under Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. Initially sung by courtesans, it evolved from ancient Kathak, with a variant developed by the tawaif community, known as "nautch" dancers during British rule.
