SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
Ka
क
Correct
B
Chha
छ
C
Jha
झ
D
Cha
च
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Ka)

'क' वर्ण कण्ठ्य ध्वनि है (इसका उच्चारण कण्ठ से होता है), तालव्य नहीं। च वर्ग के सभी वर्ण (च, छ, ज, झ, ञ) तथा इ, ई, य, श तालव्य वर्ण हैं। अतः विकल्प B (छ), C (झ) और D (च) तालव्य वर्ण हैं और गलत विकल्प हैं।

The letter 'क' (Ka) is a velar/throat sound (Kanthya), not palatal. All letters of the Cha-varga (च, छ, ज, झ, ञ) along with इ, ई, य, and श are articulated using the hard palate (Talavya). Therefore, options B (Chha), C (Jha), and D (Cha) are palatal consonants and hence incorrect choices.
