Model Answer

(D) Abanindranath Tagore painted the famous image of Bharat Mata, portraying her as a calm, ascetic and spiritual figure dispensing learning, food and clothing.

Explanation

The passage clearly states: "Moved by the Swadeshi movement, Abanindranath Tagore painted his famous image of Bharat Mata." Note that Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay created the literary image (wrote 'Vande Mataram'), while Abanindranath Tagore painted the visual image. Students often confuse these two — the question specifically asks about the painting.
