The wood of which of the following trees is used to make the large plucked string instrument used in Carnatic classical music known as Bobbili Veena / Saraswathi Veena?

Jackfruit wood

The correct answer is Option (2) - Jackfruit wood

Jackfruit wood is commonly used to make the Bobbili Veena or Saraswathi Veena, a large plucked string instrument in Carnatic classical music. This type of wood is favored for its acoustic properties, which contribute to the resonance and tonal quality of the instrument. Additionally, jackfruit wood is durable and readily available in regions where the veena is traditionally crafted, making it a popular choice for constructing this musical instrument.
