C Correct answer
Explanation

Taziya is a replica of Hussain's tomb carried during Muharram processions, especially on Ashura. Hussain (grandson of Prophet Muhammad) died at the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. These symbolic structures are central to Shia Muslim mourning rituals. Options A and B refer to the actual historical location (Karbala in present-day Iraq), not the ceremonial replica carried in processions.
