Correct answer: (a) 1 only
Explanation
- A
1 only
Pair 1 is correctly matched: Chaliha Sahib is a Sindhi festival of devotion to Jhulelal / river cult. Pair 2 is wrong: Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a Garhwali/Kumaoni Himalayan pilgrimage of the Nanda Devi cult, not of the Gonds. Pair 3 is wrong: Wari-Warkari is the Varkari pilgrimage to Pandharpur (Maharashtra), not a Santhal tradition. Hence 1 only is the official key.
- B
2 and 3 only
Option (b) is 2 and 3 only. Both of those community tags are mismatches. This option is not the key.
- C
1 and 3 only
Option (c) is 1 and 3 only. Wari-Warkari is not Santhal, so the pair set fails. This option is therefore wrong.
- D
None of the above
Option (d) is none. Pair 1 is correctly matched, so 'none' is false. This option is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (a) 1 only. Chaliha Sahib belongs to the Sindhi community. Nanda Raj Jaat is a Uttarakhand Himalayan yatra, not Gond. The Wari is the Varkari march to Vitthal at Pandharpur, not Santhal. Using the stem’s three tradition–community pairs, only the first is right.
