It should be C) Stella. I remember this a while back because of a conversation with my art teacher in Grade school.

Answer:

C) Stela

Step-by-step explanation:

A Mayan Stela is a type of monument of the Mayan civilization that is also inscribed as a fact of the history of Mayan art. Unlike the Egyptian obelisks, they were erected primarily in specific periods of time independently reflecting historical events or other events. Constructed of limestone in square shapes they regularly denoted at least one calendar date and its lunar correction to specify the moment of the fact.

In its beginnings the wake would not go from being a historical "marker" although some fulfilled functions of astronomical markers or observation points for such calculations. Its function is to act as a record book, being its main objective to write down a date. The numeral, little by little, became a poetic glyph.
