The correct answer is: A) Mahabharata and Ramayana.
Yakshagana is a traditional form of dance-drama that originated in Karnataka, India. It is a highly stylized performance that combines music, dance, and dialogue. Yakshagana performances often depict stories from the Mahabharata and Ramayana, two of the most important epics in Indian literature.
The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic poem that tells the story of the Kurukshetra War. The Ramayana is another ancient Indian epic poem that tells the story of Rama, a prince who is exiled from his kingdom and must fight to reclaim his throne.
Both the Mahabharata and the Ramayana are rich in stories and characters. Yakshagana performers use these stories to create a visually stunning and emotionally powerful performance.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the content of Yakshagana performances. Greek mythology is a collection of stories about the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece. Local legends are stories that are passed down from generation to generation in a particular community. Modern literature refers to works of literature that were written in the 20th or 21st centuries. Yakshagana performances do not typically depict stories from Greek mythology, local legends, or modern literature.
