Applying mehndi can be related to which type of art?

Correct answer: Decorative and folk art

The governing concept is that an art form can be identified by its purpose, surface, technique, and cultural context. Mehndi is applied as a temporary decorative design on the body, often using traditional motifs and patterns passed through communities and celebrations. It therefore relates naturally to decorative art and, in many cultural settings, to folk art as well. Option A is correct because it recognises both functions. Architecture concerns designed buildings, music depends on organised sound, and drama depends on acted performance; none of these describes the direct activity of drawing mehndi designs on the body.
