The correct answer is

Only Wattal men perform it around a banner planted into the ground.

The Dumhal is a ceremonial folk dance of the Kashmir Valley, performed exclusively by the men of the Wattal community, on specific occasions and at fixed locations.

The dancers wear long colourful robes and tall conical caps embroidered with beads and shells. They form a procession towards a chosen spot where a banner is ceremonially planted into the ground; the men then dance and sing in a circle around this banner, accompanied by drums.

The dance is not performed by women, is not limited to string instruments, and is not open to any community on any occasion. Hence the unique feature is captured by option (3).
