Answer - C - Stonehenge is usually discussed as a ring of megaliths, originally all united by lintels.

Key Takeaway: Stonehenge is generally thought of as the most major (and well-known) work of prehistoric architecture. Stonehenge is generally made with a post-and-lintel construction, with large megaliths in the center of the structure. A ring of megaliths surrounds the central horseshoe. Although the exact purpose of the monument is unknown, archeologists generally believe that it is oriented toward sunrise on the longest day of the year and may actually predict eclipses.
