Solution

The correct option is C Pochamma
Pochamma is the most popular folk goddess of Andhra Pradesh. In every village, there is a small shrine dedicated to her. This is distinct from temples to Gods like Rama or Shiva. A very simple temple under a neem tree with goddess in the form of a stone inside, is built. In modern towns and cities these temples are built with some architecture and with a stone idol inside.
