The right option is; c. a representation of a person, usually a sculpture

An effigy is a sculpture or other crude representation of a person, group or object that is hated. Effigies are common components of funerary art that are usually placed in a lying position, or hanged, and burned as an act of protest in a public place. Effigies are also destroyed to insult or mock people or their remembrance.
