A totem (Ojibwe doodem) is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol that serves as an emblem of a group of people, such as a family, clan, lineage, or tribe. It is a natural object, plant or animal that is inherited by members of a clan or family as their spiritual emblem. Hence, Option A is correct. Among the rest, a minute shaped flint, typically part of a composite tool such as a spear. Jhum or Jhoom cultivation is a local name for slash and burn agriculture practiced by the tribal groups in the northeastern states of India like Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland and also in the districts of Bangladesh like Khagrachari and Sylhet. Megalithic means relating to or denoting prehistoric monuments made of or containing large stones. Hence, these are incorrect.
