- AKorku: MaharashtraCorrect
- BJhummar: Haryana
- CThali: Himachal Pradesh
- DMukna: Manipur
Explanation
The correct answer is A because Korku is not a dance form but rather the name of a major Scheduled Tribe found in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The traditional dance associated with this community is known as the Gadli or Lathi dance. In the other options, Jhummar is a popular folk dance of Haryana, Thali is a traditional dance of Himachal Pradesh often performed with plates, and Mukna is a traditional form of folk wrestling and cultural sport in Manipur. Therefore, the pair Korku: Maharashtra is incorrectly matched as it pairs a tribe name with a state instead of a specific dance form.
