The literary movement in Karnataka emphasizing the use of spoken Kannada:

Navodaya
Navya
Bandaya
Bhakti

The correct answer is C. Bandaya.

Bandaya is a literary movement in Karnataka that emphasizes the use of spoken Kannada. It was founded in the 1970s by a group of writers who were dissatisfied with the state of Kannada literature at the time. They felt that the language was being used in a way that was too elitist and inaccessible to the common people. Bandaya writers sought to change this by using a more colloquial style of Kannada that was closer to the way people actually spoke. They also wrote about topics that were relevant to the lives of ordinary people, such as poverty, oppression, and social injustice.

Bandaya had a significant impact on Kannada literature. It helped to popularize the use of spoken Kannada in literature and it also opened up new avenues for writers to explore. The movement is still active today and it continues to produce important works of Kannada literature.
