Option (1) Basic seven colours applied with tempera — Correct. The painting is Jamini Roy’s Woman with Child. After the drawings he moved to basic seven colours applied with tempera.

NCERT (2026-27): “Woman with Child This is a gouache painting on paper made by Jamini Roy (1887–1972) in 1940. … Roy borrowed volume, rhythm, decorative clarity and instrumentality of the pat in his artworks. To achieve and learn the purity of the pat, he first made many monochrome brush drawings, and then, gradually, moved to basic seven colours applied with tempera.”
