(b) The anxiety to connect the local dynasties with the events of Mahabharata

(d) The concept of marriage as a sacrament attended with rituals
Ans: (c) The worship of the forest tree and animal deities
Explanation:
The correct answer is (c) The worship of the forest tree and animal deities.
The worship of forest tree and animal deities is not directly associated with the impact of Aryan culture on the Sangam Age. It is more closely linked to indigenous Dravidian religious practices and traditions. The worship of nature and local deities was prevalent in the indigenous cultures of ancient South India, including during the Sangam Age.
