Correct answer: C

Explanation

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

Kathakali is a renowned Indian classical dance form that originated in Kerala. It is known for its elaborate costumes, colourful makeup, detailed facial expressions, and dramatic storytelling based on Hindu epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Kathakali combines dance, music, and acting to convey stories through a complex language of gestures and facial expressions. In contrast, Natpuja, Dhimsa, and Bihu are traditional or folk dance forms and are not classified under Indian classical dance styles.
