Correct answer: B

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma.

Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma is renowned as a master of the Santoor, a traditional Indian string instrument, rather than a vocalist. Born on January 13, 1938, he is celebrated for his innovative contributions to Indian classical music, particularly in the genre of Hindustani music. While many artists in the field are known primarily for their vocal abilities, Sharma's expertise lies in instrumental music. His performances and compositions have greatly influenced the popularization of the Santoor, showcasing his skill as a musician and composer rather than as a singer.
