Correct answer: C

Warli is the painting of the Warli people of Maharashtra, in the region north of Mumbai.
Human figures are drawn as two triangles meeting at a point, with a circle for the head.
It is painted in rice paste on walls coated with cow dung and earth, which gives the characteristic two-colour look.

Worth noting

The subject is almost always communal — a harvest, a hunt, a wedding, a dance in a spiral — rather than a single figure or a deity.
