Which instrument did Aurangzeb ban because of its shrill sound?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pungi

The governing concept is the historical origin of the shehnai. In the lesson, the pungi is described as a wind instrument with an unpleasant, shrill sound. Aurangzeb disliked its sound and banned it from the royal residence. Later, a barber from the court modified the instrument by using a longer and broader pipe with improved reed arrangements. The result produced a softer and more melodious sound and came to be known as the shehnai. Hence option A, pungi, is correct. Shehnai was the improved successor, not the instrument that Aurangzeb banned; tabla and sitar are unrelated distractors in this account.
