Correct answer: C

Bharatanatyam comes from the temple dance of Tamil Nadu.
It was performed in temples by devadasis, and was revived as a concert form in the twentieth century.
Its grammar is drawn from the Natya Shastra, the Sanskrit treatise on performance.

Worth noting

Rukmini Devi Arundale is the name usually attached to that revival, and to moving the form from the temple onto the proscenium stage.
