Correct answer: D
Explanation
Among the 72 Melakarta ragas of Carnatic music, Dheera Shankarabharanam (29th Melakarta) uses all the natural (shuddha) swaras — S R2 G3 M1 P D2 N3 — exactly corresponding to the Western major scale and to the Hindustani Raga Bilawal, which is the shuddha-swara thaat. Hanumatodi corresponds to Bhairavi, Kamavardhini to Puriya Dhanashri, and Nat Bhairavi to Asavari/Kafi. NCERT XI Fine Arts and standard music-appreciation references both make this Bilawal ↔ Shankarabharanam parallel canonical.
