Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option D(गांधार मूर्तिकला)
गांधार मूर्तिकला में मूर्तियों के निर्माण हेतु मुख्यतः नीले-धूसर अथवा हरित स्तरित शिस्ट (Green Schist / Grey Schist) पत्थर का प्रयोग किया जाता था। इसके विपरीत, मथुरा शैली में लाल चित्तीदार बलुआ पत्थर (Spotted Red Sandstone) का उपयोग किया जाता था।
Gandharan sculptures were predominantly carved out of grey-to-green chlorite schist and phyllite stone obtained from Swat and surrounding valleys. In contrast, Mathura art characteristically employed mottled red sandstone from Sikri, while Bharhut used red sandstone.
