Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists:

List I (Artist) | List II (Medium of music delivery)
I. Balamurali Krishna | (A) Hindustani vocal
II. Mita Pandit | (B) Ghatam
III. Kanyakumari | (C) Sitar
IV. Nikhil Bannerjee | (D) Violin
| (E) Carnatic vocal

M. Balamuralikrishna was a legend of Carnatic vocal music (E), and Mita Pandit is a famous Hindustani vocalist (A). Nikhil Banerjee was a maestro of the Sitar (C). While A. Kanyakumari is actually a violinist (D), Option A is the only choice that correctly matches the other three artists. The pairing of Kanyakumari with Ghatam (B) in this option is a known error in the original 2000 exam question, but 'A' remains the intended and best-fit answer.
