B Correct answer
Explanation

In Hindu iconography, particularly in depictions of Shiva as Nataraja (Lord of Dance), the upper hands typically hold symbolic objects while the lower hands are shown in gestures - often one pointing upward and one pointing downward, symbolizing the balance between creation and destruction, or the cosmic rhythm. This 'up and down' gesture represents the opposing yet complementary forces in the universe.
