The correct answer is the corbeled arch.
Ancient nations such as Babylonians and Mycenaeans really loved using this type of arch in their architecture. Today, it is known as a 'false arch,' given that it cannot support itself completely the way other 'true' types of arches can. However, it is still a beautiful piece of architecture.
I attached an image so you can see it.
