• C. 10
• D. 12

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 12

All known ragas in Indian classical music, both Hindustani and Carnatic, are grouped within a twelve-note scale, not a single scale of 12 notes. Indian classical music is the classical music of the Indian subcontinent. It is generally described using terms like Shastriya Sangeet and Marg Sangeet. It has two major traditions: the North Indian classical music known as Hindustani and the South Indian expression known as Carnatic.
