Correct answer: C
Concept
Major Rajasthani speech varieties are commonly identified by the historical-geographical regions with which they are associated. To classify a variety, match its name with the region that gives it that identity.

Malvi takes its name from the Malwa region.
Marwari takes its name from the Marwar region.
