The correct answer is: c) Songs praising the clan deity.
Ka Jingrwai Iawbei’ is a significant Khasi ceremony that involves the singing of songs praising the clan deity. The ceremony is held to celebrate the birth of a new child and to welcome the child into the clan. The songs are sung by the women of the clan and are a way of showing their love and support for the new child.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the songs that are sung during Ka Jingrwai Iawbei’. Lullabies are songs that are sung to babies to help them sleep. Laments are songs of mourning or sorrow. Prayers are words or phrases that are spoken to a deity or other spiritual being. Work songs are songs that are sung to help people keep time while they are working.
I hope this helps!
