The ‘Nalukettu’, with its central courtyard, is a traditional architectural style of:

Temples
Homes
Palaces
Public buildings

The correct answer is: B) Homes.

A nalukettu is a traditional architectural style of homes in Kerala, India. It is a rectangular building with four rooms arranged around a central courtyard. The nalukettu is typically made of wood and has a thatched roof. It is a symbol of wealth and status in Kerala.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Temples are typically built in a different architectural style, such as the Dravidian style.
  • Palaces are also typically built in a different architectural style, such as the Indo-Saracenic style.
  • Public buildings are not typically built in the nalukettu style.
