The correct option is C Altar
Option C: 'Altar' is a structure in a church on which religious offerings, such as sacrifices, are made. It means the same as the given group of words.
Hence this word substitutes the given words and option C is correct.
Option A: 'Mound' is a heaped pile of earth, gravel, sand or debris.
Option B: 'Chapel' is a Christian place of prayer and worship that is relatively small, and is distinguished from a church.
Option D: 'Archives' is a place where historical records and documents are stored for reference.
These words do not mean the same as the given group of words. So, it cannot replace them.
