Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(कोणार्क का सूर्य मंदिर)
कोणार्क के सूर्य मंदिर (ओडिशा) को यूरोपीय नाविकों द्वारा इसके गहरे रंग के शिखर और तटवर्ती दृश्यता के कारण 'काला पैगोडा' (Black Pagoda) कहा गया था। (पुरी के जगन्नाथ मंदिर को 'सफेद पैगोडा' कहा जाता था)।
The Sun Temple at Konark was referred to as the 'Black Pagoda' by European sailors due to its dark-toned stone tower, which served as a prominent navigational landmark. (Puri's Jagannath Temple was known as the 'White Pagoda').
