Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Hindustani and Carnatic music are the two principal traditions of Indian classical music, each with distinct characteristics and historical developments. Statement 1 is not correct: Hindustani music allows artists to explore variations and improvise, leading to the development of multiple sub-styles known as ‘Gharanas.’ In contrast, Carnatic music follows a strict, prescribed structure with little room for deviation.
Statement 2 is not correct: Since Hindustani music allows for improvisation, it has given rise to various sub-styles, ultimately leading to the emergence of different ‘Gharanas.’ In contrast, Carnatic music follows a single, strictly prescribed style of singing.
