What is shown by music developing even after Aurangzeb's order in the lesson?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Art can find a creative path even after restriction
The lesson uses Aurangzeb’s order banning the pungi to show that restriction does not necessarily destroy artistic creativity. Although the old instrument lost favour because of its unpleasant sound and the royal ban, a creative craftsman altered it and produced the shehnai, whose tone was sweeter and more acceptable. The art therefore continued through adaptation and innovation. Option A is correct because it captures this movement from limitation to creative development. Option B is contradicted by the emergence of the shehnai. Option C is factually wrong because the pungi was modified, and option D is false because the lesson gives the instrument a clear origin and history.
