Correct answer
Explanation
Ottan Thullal is a solo dance form from Kerala, traditionally performed by a single dancer who narrates stories through expressive movements. While Kuchipudi and Odissi can also be performed as solos, Ottan Thullal is specifically designed as a one-person performance art. Yakshagana is typically a group performance with multiple characters. Ottan Thullal was created by the poet Kalakkaththu Kunchan Nambiar in the 18th century.
