I believe the answer would be B since today people believe it was aligned to the movements of the Sun. I could be wrong, but hey.

Answer:

B. astronomical phenomena

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most widely accepted theories about the purpose of Stonehenge is that it was a kind of calendar in which each point in the stone circle corresponded to an astronomical event, such as solstices or eclipses. This theory is reinforced by the fact that on summer and winter solstices the sun sets exactly on certain stones of the monument.
