Answer:

B. Bībhatsa

Read Explanation:

  • The emotion of disgust corresponds to the Bibhatsa Rasa in Indian aesthetics. Bibhatsa is a Sanskrit word that means "disgust" or "repulsion". 

  • Bibhatsa can be triggered by unpleasant sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or ideas. It can also be caused by witnessing or discussing harmful or offensive information. 

  • The goal of rasa theory is to evoke emotions in an audience through art forms like drama, poetry, dance, and music. Actors and dancers were taught to create exaggerated facial expressions to evoke the intended emotions.
