Explanation:

Jatisvaram is a vocal form in Carnatic music tradition. It is very similar to the svarajati in musical structure but it has no sahitya or words. The piece is sung with solfa syllables only. It is noted for its rhythmical excellence and the jati pattern used in it. This is a musical form belonging to the realm of dance music. In some Jatisvarams, the Pallavi and Anupallavi are sung to jatis and the Charanas are sung to a mixture of svaras and jatis. There are also Ragamalika Jatisvarams. Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
