Answer 1

Answer:

B. Phamsana slabs rising to a point, straight incline

Description: The Phamsana style features slabs that rise to a point, characterized by a straight incline. This design is commonly seen in traditional Indian architecture. Construction: These roofs are typically built using stone slabs or tiles arranged in a manner that creates a sloping surface culminating in a ridge or apex. Variations: While the basic form is a straight incline, variations exist in the steepness of the slope and the materials used, depending on the region and era.
