Answer 1

Hint: The Vidhana Soudha situated in Bangalore is the seat of the state governing body of Karnataka. It is developed in a style at times depicted as Mysore Neo-Dravidian and joins components of Dravidian styles. The development was finished in 1956.

Complete answer:
The Chief Architect of Karnataka Integration and the subsequent Chief Minister of Karnataka, Kengal Hanumanthaiah is from Bengaluru division. The Vidhanasoudha building was worked during his residency as the Chief Minister. The Vidhana Soudha houses the state secretariat and assembly of Karnataka. It is really a common structure, demonstrating highlights of British, Dravidian, and Indo-Islamic design. The establishment stone was laid by the then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru and afterwards boss priest K. C. Reddy, on 13 July 1951.It was intended to predominate the British-manufactured Athara Kacheri (High Court) building. Hanumanthaiah was scrutinized for the almost ₹15 million (identical to ₹1.4 billion or US$19 million of every 2019) spent to develop the building. But the structure planned by him is a remarkable structure of Neo Dravidian style. The land territory is 24 hectares. The security of Vidhana Soudha is fencing close to the pathway on all sides. At that point, it was supplanted with solid 3-meter-high (10 ft.) steel fencing. Consequently, watchtowers, redesigned checking gear, robotized entryways and screening frameworks were installed. The building is shut on Sundays and public occasions however it draws in a high number of guests on those days for its radiant outside and beautiful night lighting.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
It’s situated on Ambedkar Veedhi or Dr Ambedkar Rd, Seshadripuram. Inverse to Vidhana Soudha is The High Court of Karnataka. The two structures are in the Cubbon park which is situated close to the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA).
