Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Lalit Kala Akademi is the national academy of fine arts.
The Sangeet Natak Akademi covers music, dance and drama, and the Sahitya Akademi covers literature.
All three were set up in the first years after Independence and work under the Ministry of Culture.
Worth noting
Drama sits with the Sangeet Natak Akademi rather than with literature, which is the division most often got wrong.
