B.About 1600–1850 CE only
C.Only after 1900 CE
D.About 1850–1920 CE exclusively
Explanation: Adikal covers early medieval Hindi traditions (including Apabhramsha-linked and early vernacular strands) before the full flowering of Bhaktikal.

A.Only courtly shringar with no religious content
B.Devotional poetry expressing nirgun and sagun streams of bhakti
C.Only European novel translations
D.Only Marxist industrial poetry
Explanation: Bhaktikal (roughly 14th–17th centuries in common school framing) centres on bhakti poetry in both nirgun (formless Absolute) and sagun (personal deity) modes.

A.Only Krishna’s childhood lila in detailed narrative
B.Only Ram’s royal court ceremonies
C.A formless, attributeless Absolute (nirguna Brahman/God)
D.Only goddess worship through tantric ritual manuals
Explanation: Nirgun poets (e.g., Kabir and related sant traditions) stress the formless Absolute beyond idols and caste.

B.Only oral tribal epics with no court patronage
C.Only free-verse progressive industrial poetry

A.Only Kabir and Surdas
B.Bharatendu Harishchandra and the Bharatendu Yug
C.Only Bihari and Keshavdas
D.Only Chhayavadi poets of the 1920s exclusively

A.Romantic mysticism, nature imagery, individual emotion, and musical free lyricism
B.Only dry statistical economic reportage
C.Only courtly riti-granth classification of alankars
D.Only pure factory-worker slogans without imagery
Explanation: Chhayavad (roughly 1918–1936) is Hindi’s romantic-modernist phase—Prasad, Nirala, Pant, Mahadevi—rich in symbolism, nature, and inner feeling.
