Answer: C - A memorial is an object specifically designed for paying respect to a deceased person’s memory.

Memorials are objects that are designed for the memory of someone who has died. Such an object may be contained within a memorial park (such as the various memorials found on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.) or may be some type of symbol like an inscribed bench in a public park. Although graves, cemeteries and tombstones serve as reminders of a person who has died, they are generally found in one place (cemetery) while a memorial may be placed elsewhere.
