C
लच्छू महाराज

D

Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(किशन महाराज)
पद्म विभूषण पंडित किशन महाराज (1923-2008) बनारस घराने के विश्वविख्यात 'तबला वादक' थे, कथक नर्तक नहीं। अन्य तीनों—पंडित बिरजू महाराज, लच्छू महाराज और कत्थक साम्राज्ञी सितारा देवी—कथक नृत्य के शीर्ष कलाकार हैं।
Pandit Kishan Maharaj (1923–2008) was a legendary Tabla maestro of the Banaras gharana, not a Kathak dancer. Birju Maharaj, Lachhu Maharaj, and Sitara Devi are all illustrious icons of Kathak dance.
