Solution

The correct option is C Oval
Stupas are generally oval in shape and made up of bricks or stones. The basic structure of a stupa consists of a cylindrical drum and an oval 'Anda' with a 'Harmika' and 'Chhatra' on the top which remain throughout with minor variations and changes in size and shape later.
