Hint:

Whenever the question connects India with Lascaux, remember Bhimbetka because it is famous for prehistoric rock paintings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Lascaux is a famous prehistoric cave painting site in France. In India, Bhimbetka is famous for prehistoric rock shelters and cave paintings. Because of its rich prehistoric painting tradition, Bhimbetka is often compared with Lascaux.

Step 1: Understand the clue “Lascaux”.
Lascaux is connected with prehistoric cave paintings. So, the Indian site should also be a prehistoric rock painting site.

Step 2: Check Bhimbetka.
Bhimbetka, located in Madhya Pradesh, contains prehistoric rock shelters. The paintings show hunting scenes, animals, human figures, dance scenes and daily life. Thus, Bhimbetka is the most suitable answer.

Step 3: Check other options.
Kanchipuram is famous for temples. Badami is famous for cave temples and paintings, but not as the Indian Lascaux. Ajanta is famous for Buddhist murals, not prehistoric rock paintings like Lascaux. Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(B) Bhimbetka}} \]
