The correct option is B Pietra Dura
Pietra Dura refers to artwork of coloured stones laid in depressions of walls of a marble/sandstone structure. Chihil sutun refers to forty-pillared halls in Mughal structures. A central hall surrounded by eight rooms is known as Hasht Bihisht. Tall gateways visible in front of a Mughal monument are known as a Pishtaq.
