Correct Answer:
B. Sagar Veena
The correct answer is Sagar Veena. The Sagar Veena is a unique stringed musical instrument that was invented in Pakistan in the 1980s by the late musician and instrument maker Raza Kazim (also known as Sagar) in Lahore. It is an innovative adaptation of the traditional veena and is considered Pakistan's own contribution to the world of classical music. Among the options:
- Rubab: Originated in Afghanistan and Central Asia.
- Sagar Veena: Correct; this is Pakistan's sole invention.
- Dholak: A traditional South Asian drum, not specifically Pakistani.
- Tarbela: This is a dam, not a musical instrument.
Hence, the correct instrument is "Sagar Veena".
