D Correct answer
Explanation

In the Mahabharata, Purvanchan (or sometimes named as Virochan in other versions) was the architect commissioned by Shakuni to design the inflammable Lakshagraha (House of Lac), built as a trap to kill the Pandavas. Neither Vishwakarma (the divine architect), Kindama (a sage who cursed Pandu), nor Maya (architect of the Maya Sabha for the Pandavas) built Lakshagraha.
