Solution

The correct option is A Glazing
Glazing renders earthenware vessels suitable for holding liquids, sealing the inherent porosity of terracotta. Glaze is also used on stoneware and porcelain. In addition to their functional aspect, glazes can form a variety of surface finishes, including degrees of glossy or matte finish and color.
