Correct Option
The statement that "Tansen was the title given to him by Emperor Akbar" is not correct. Tansen's original name was Ramtanu Pandey. The title 'Tansen' was associated with him prior to his arrival at the Mughal court. While Emperor Akbar highly patronized his musical genius and included him among the Navratnas, the title 'Mian' was possibly conferred upon him by Akbar, not 'Tansen'.
