Answer:

B. Ananda

Read Explanation:

Rasa is an essential element of visual, literary, and performing arts. It is a feeling that can be suggested but not described.
Rasa is created by a combination of three factors: 

  • Vibhava: The cause or determinants

  • Anubhava: The effects or consequents

  • Vyabhicharibhava: The transitory states or fleeting emotions

The theory of rasa was developed by the philosopher and rhetorician Abhinavagupta, who applied it to all forms of art. It is attributed to Bharata, a sage-priest who may have lived between the 1st century BCE and the 3rd century CE
