Answer:

D. Central Asia, including Persia, Turkic, and Afghan regions

Read Explanation:

Paintings of Sultanate Period With the rise of Sultanate dynasties from Central Asia in various regions of north, east, and west India after the late 12th century, the Sultanate School of Painting began to take shape. This school marked the introduction of new colors into Indian painting traditions, such as gold and ultramarine blue. Influenced by Persian, Turkic, and Afghan artistic traditions, the Sultanate style was supported by regional courts, including those of Malwa, Gujarat, Jaunpur, and others. In the royal ateliers, Central Asian artists collaborated with local Indian painters, resulting in a fusion of Persian aesthetics with indigenous styles. This school is best described as a hybrid form—combining Persian influences with native artistic sensibilities. Notable Persian elements include a distinctive color palette, stylized facial features, simplified landscapes, and elaborate decorative motifs.
