Solution

The correct option is C Nataraj
Natraj, in the Hindu religion, depicts a form of the dancing Lord Shiva and symbolizes Shakti, or life force. It has international significance from the point of view of arts. Carl Sagan drew the metaphor between the cosmic dance of the Nataraj and the modern study of the 'cosmic dance' of subatomic particles.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world's largest and most respected centers for scientific research. It has a statue of Natraj in its compound. The plaque alongside the statue explains the belief is that Lord Shiva danced the Universe into existence, motivates it, and will eventually extinguish it.
