Answer» C. graves encircled by big pieces of stones.
Explanation: A megalith is a large stone that has been used to construct a structure or monument, either alone or together with other stones. Many of these, though byno means all, contain human remains, but it is debatable whether use as burial sites was their primary function. Though generally known as dolmens, the correct term accepted by archaeologists is portal tomb.
