Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 1 i.e. Bhai Dooj.

The five-day-long festival of Diwali traditionally ends with Bhai Dooj. Bhai Dooj is celebrated on the fifth day of Diwali, marking the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters perform aarti and pray for their brothers' well-being and prosperity, while brothers give gifts in return. The festival symbolizes love and protection between siblings. The other days of Diwali include Dhanteras, Narak Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali), Lakshmi Puja, and Govardhan Puja, but Bhai Dooj is the concluding celebration of the Diwali festivities.
