Solution

The correct option is C Ursa Major
We can locate the Pole Star with the help of the constellation Ursa Major, also known as the Big Dipper or Saptarishi.

The imaginary line as shown in the figure, meets the Pole Star. The length of the imaginary line from the bowl is about five times the distance between the two stars of the spoon-like section of the constellation.
