      1. C, because navroj is the janya raga of the 29th melagartha raga which is dheera shankarabharanam
      2 b, as aarohanam refers to the ascending scale, which in p d n s r g m p is the correct ascending scale in the navroj ragam
      3 c, because in the English translation for the lyrics, it says “ Ganesha of the blessed son of goddess Parvati”
      4 b, as to surrender in this case means giving god everything and praying for the best (which is clearing obstacles)
      5 b, as that specific phrase is the whole concept of the song and therefore needs to be highlighted. This was done so by repetition
