Explanation

All four statements about Bhaiya-Dooj are correct. It is the fifth and final day of Diwali, celebrates the brother-sister bond, traditionally involves brothers visiting sisters, and is linked to the legend of Yamraj visiting his sister Yami. The festival involves sisters applying tilak on their brothers' foreheads and performing aarti.

AI explanation

All four statements about Bhai Dooj are historically/traditionally accurate: it falls on the fifth and final day of the five-day Diwali festival; it celebrates the bond of love and protection between brothers and sisters; the brother traditionally visits his sister's home for the celebration (she performs aarti/tilak and he gives gifts); and the day is mythologically tied to Yamraj (god of death) visiting his sister Yami/Yamuna, who is said to have started the tradition. Since all four statements hold up, 'All of the above' is correct rather than any partial subset.
