Solution

The correct option is C Maisamma
Maisamma is believed to protect the cattle. Among the cattle sheds, a niche is whitewashed and decorated with Kumkuma and called as Maisamma Goodu. In many places Katta-Maisamma is also worshipped as a goddess of water and is worshipped in the form of a small stone on the tank bund. People believe that she will ensure that the tank will be filled. Thus, due to her blessings the crops flourish.
