D)

In Mizo folklore, the 'odd one out' is determined by identifying which pair does not represent a recognized romantic couple or a legendary pair of lovers.
1. Chawngvungi and Sawngkhara (Option a): One of the most famous tragic love stories in Mizo folklore, characterized by their deep devotion and the obstacles they faced.
2. Duhmanga and Tlingi (Option b): A well-known legendary couple in Mizo oral tradition.
3. Raldawna and Tumchhingi (Option c): Another classic pair from Mizo folk tales known for their romantic narrative.
4. Chhawrtuineihlala and Tuanpuii (Option d): While Chhawrtuineihlala is a figure in Mizo lore, Tuanpuii is not his romantic partner in the context of these established folklore couples. Tuanpui refers more broadly to the 'Tuan' (paradise/heavenly realm) or specific mythological entities, and this pairing does not constitute a standard 'couple' like the others listed.
Therefore, option (d) is the odd one out as it does not represent a traditional romantic couple from Mizo folktales.
