The Correct Option is A

Concept: Traditional Indian embroideries are defined by the specific stitches used to create their characteristic textures and patterns.

Step 1: Match stitches to their traditional names.

• Bakhia (B): A key stitch in Chikankari (Lucknow), it is a Close herringbone stitch done on the reverse side to create a shadow effect on the front.
• Tilla Dori (C): Common in Kashmiri and Punjabi metalwork, it involves Couching where a metallic thread is laid on the surface and stitched down with a thinner thread.
• Aari (D): A hook-based embroidery technique that creates a continuous Chain stitch.
