Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Sattriya.

Borgeet is associated with the Indian classical dance form Sattriya. Originating in Assam, Sattriya was developed by the saint-scholar Srimanta Sankardev in the 15th century as a part of the Bhakti movement. Borgeet refers to a collection of devotional songs composed by Sankardev and his disciple Madhavdev. These songs are integral to Sattriya performances, providing the musical and spiritual foundation for the dance, which is traditionally performed in monasteries known as "Satras."
