Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Madhubani comes from the Mithila region of northern Bihar.

  2. It was made on the walls and floors of houses for weddings and festivals long before it was painted on paper for sale.

  3. Its second name, Mithila, is simply the name of the region.

Worth noting

The style is recognisable by its dense filling of every space, its double outlines and its natural pigments.
