Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Around the 1st century BC, the Shadanga or Six Limbs of Indian Painting were evolved. Vatsyayana (3rd century AD) enumerates these in his Kamasutra
They are:
Rupabheda: The knowledge of appearance
Pramanam: Correct perception, measure and structure
Bhava: Action of feelings om forms
Lavanya Yojanam: Infusion of grace, artistic representation
Sadrisyam: Similitude
VArnikaBhanga: Artistic manner of using the brush and colors
The subsequent development of painting by the Buddhists indicates that these 'Six Limbs' were put into practice by Indian artists and are the basic principles on which their art was founded.
