B Correct answer
Explanation

The Empire State Building's spire was originally intended as a mooring mast for airships (dirigibles), though this proved impractical due to wind and safety concerns. The Chrysler Building has an Art Deco crown but no airship function, the Statue of Liberty is a copper sculpture, and Trump Tower is much newer.
