D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because Garba is a celebrated folk dance of Gujarat performed during Navratri, and Yakshagana is a traditional theatre form native to Karnataka. Pair 2 is incorrect because Mohiniattam is a classical dance form from Kerala, not Odisha (which is known for Odissi).
