Solution

The correct option is C Northern Black Polished Ware
Northern Black Polished Ware (NBPW) is a hard, metallic-looking ware with a shiny black surface. The potter exposes the earthenware to very high temperatures in his kiln which results in the blackening of its outer surface. A fine black slip was also applied on this, which gives the pottery a mirror-like shine.
