Explanation
The correct answer is C because Chapchar Kut is the most significant traditional festival of the Mizo people in Mizoram. It is a spring festival celebrated in March after the completion of Jhum cultivation, specifically the clearing of forest debris known as clearing of the remnants of burning. The festival is characterized by traditional music, folk dances like the Cheraw or bamboo dance, and community feasting. It serves as a time of joy and cultural celebration before the next sowing season begins.
