  • A.Tanjore painting
  • B.Madhubani painting
  • C.Pattachitra

Answer: D

It is Mysore painting.

The gesso paste of zinc oxide and gum arabic is laid on to build a low relief, which is then covered with thin gold foil - giving the figures their raised, glowing outline. Tanjore painting uses a thicker gesso with gold foil and inset stones.
