The correct answer is

Kuchipudi

India recognises several classical dance forms, each rooted in the temple, court or devotional traditions of a particular region.

Kuchipudi takes its name from the village of Kuchipudi in the Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh. It developed as a dance-drama tradition associated with Siddhendra Yogi and is known for combining expressive acting with brisk footwork, including the famous dance on the rim of a brass plate.

Mohiniyattam belongs to Kerala, Manipuri to Manipur, and Sattriya to Assam, where it grew out of the Vaishnava monasteries (sattras) founded by Srimanta Sankardev.

Kuchipudi option is correct.
