If a critical comment is to be written on both parts, which basis is strongest?

Correct answer: Art turns limits into identity and identity into contribution

Option A provides the strongest critical basis because it links the central movement in both sections: difficulty is transformed through art into achievement, identity, and social value. Evelyn Glennie’s physical limitation does not end her musical life; disciplined learning helps her create a distinctive identity and inspire others. Bismillah Khan’s artistic work raises the status of the shehnai and carries Indian tradition into public and national spaces. In both cases, art moves beyond private pleasure and becomes contribution. Option B trivialises art, while C contradicts the chapter’s strong connection between music and culture. Option D wrongly treats awards as the end of artistic growth. A sound critical comment should explain transformation and social significance, making A the most inclusive answer.
