    1. (Correct option: B)
      Facial expressions or bhavas, are used to enhance storytelling and convey emotions in classical Indian dance. They help dancers portray joy, anger, fear, love or sorrow, adding depth and authenticity to the performance. Along with gestures and movements, expressions complete the narrative, allowing the audience to feel the emotions being depicted. Bhavas make performances vivid, transforming dance from just movement into a powerful medium of communication that resonates emotionally.
