The correct option is B

A mosaic is a pictorial work made of small pieces of stone, ceramic or glass of different shapes and colors, called tesserae, joined by plaster or another binder to form decorative geometric, figurative or abstract compositions. The plant mosaic or wooden mosaic is called inlay.
