The Raga which is sung early in the morning is
Explanation
Todi (often cited as Miyan ki Todi) is traditionally classified as a morning raga and described as meditative in nature in standard discussions of raga–time association, making it the appropriate choice for an early‑morning rendering [1]. The Samay (raga‑time) theory of Hindustani classical music assigns specific periods of the day to ragas, and authoritative summaries list Todi among the morning ragas while other commonly known choices in the list (Darbari, Bhimpalasi, Bhopali) are associated with night/afternoon/evening slots rather than the early morning window. Therefore option 1 (Todi) is correct.
