ok, just attempting this qs, depending on the info provided by Google 😃

Vipanchee- Veena of Saraswati

Mahati- Veena of Naarad

Rudra- a type of Veena

Hasta- Veena of Raavan (may be)

Couldn't find anything about 'Devdutt', so may be that is the odd one? 😊

Devdutta is Arjun's conch, others are Veenas, so I think Debi didi is correct 😊👏

You are absolutely correct. 👏 Good Googling😆

Vipanchee is the name of Saraswati's veena.while Mahati is Narada's veena.

Rudra is the type of Veena played by Shiva himself...It is supposed to be tough not only to hold but play as well. That is why it is called "Rudr"- meaning "tough". Also because it is played by Shiva, whose another name is Rudra.

Hasta was the veena created by Ravana, when he was singing stuti of Shiva (after the Kailash humiliation) . So involved was he in singing, that when one of the strings of the veena that he was playing snapped, he plucked a nerve from his hand and replaced the broken one. That's why the name "Hasta" meaning Hand.

Devadutta, as Urmilla11 pointed out, is Arjuna's conch, hence the odd one out...

Your turn next Debipriya...

A couple of more names are mentioned in the puranas- Kachapi is the veena played by Devi Parvati while Hanuman is credited with having created a new kind of veena- the Hanumanth veena

LOL! Actually the credit goes to Vrish 😊, he brought the ref to 'veena', and I just 'refined' the search in Google 😆... Really a good qs!! ⭐️ This thread is indeed helping us to Enhance our Knowledge! ⭐️

Any other member can ask the next qs, don't have anything in my mind right now 😊.

Superb question indeed.👏 The previous one of Veena. And this one of incarnations seems to have some intelligent logic too.

Kurma?

The only silent avataar among the given options. Matsya did have some dialog or human language communication with the king Satyavrat. I know this doesn't seem to be your expected answer but still to confirm to eliminate one possibility to start thinking on different line.

Kurma is my guess since, Kurma was also witness to two other simultaneous incarnations of Vishnu- viz Dhanvantri and Mohini.

Superb. Yeah that too I thought but stopped after thinking about Ram-Parshuram milan. Dhanvantari didn't struck in my mind but only Mohini. Your answer seems to be more likely because Mohini avataar is Vrish's favourite.😃

Other spontaneous possibilities which came to my mind but I didn't post were:

Krishna was the only avataar in DWAPAR others were NOT of Dwapar.

Krishna was the only POORNA avataar others were NOT.

But I preferred my above answer of Kurma since the logic for Krishna for commonness in other 5 are in negative sense. Now something common in negative sense is not substantial commonness unless there is no other better answer with positive commonness.

OK. I am giving a different answer now without waiting for your confirmation since it seems to me to be more valid than my previous answer.

Lord Parshuram.

Parshuram is one of the Chiranjeevis and is presumably still there physically on the earth wandering in forests and mountains even though Vishnu's vibhooti in him was taken over by Lord Ram from him. He also met Ram and Krishna both (Krishna possibly met but I don't know the authentic source) but not like Kurma who witnessed both Dhanvantari and Mohini almost back to back with just a small time gap (However those 3 were never in the frame all together at one time possibly during Samudra manthan).

Now in this answer, other 5 incarnations now are NOT there on the earth physically in the body in which they incarnated. Despite the fact that commonness is negative, it looks to me quite substantial and can be said in positive sense by changing the language i.e. all other incarnations have now returned to their respective abodes or original form of God but Parashuram hasn't (unlike my Poorna avatar or Dwapar yug logic for Krishna).
