A Correct answer
Explanation

A niche is a recessed hollow space or cavity in a wall, typically designed to hold a statue, vase, or other decorative object. Niches are common architectural features in classical and religious buildings, used to display artwork, religious icons, or memorial statues while protecting them and creating visual interest in the wall space. The term comes from the French and Latin words meaning 'nest'.
