Correct answer: D

Bihu belongs to Assam and marks the Assamese agricultural year.
The best known of the three Bihus is Rongali or Bohag Bihu, which falls in April and is the Assamese new year.
The name resembles Bihar, which is the trap, but the two are unconnected.

Worth noting

The other two are Kongali Bihu in autumn and Bhogali Bihu in January, so the single word covers three separate festivals.
