Solution

The correct option is D faience
Unlike stone or shell, that is found naturally, faience is a material that is artificially produced. The gum was used to shape sand or powdered quartz into an object. The objects were then glazed, resulting in a shiny and glassy surface. The colours of the glaze were usually blue or sea green. Faience was used to make beads, bangles, earrings and tiny vessels.
