D Correct answer
Explanation

The Doddabasappa Temple at Dambal, Karnataka, features a unique 24-pointed star-shaped plan. Built in the 12th century during the Western Chalukya period, this stellate plan is created by recessed and projecting corners forming the star pattern. Shringeri, Kollur Mookambika, and Belur temples have different architectural plans - none have this distinctive 24-pointed star design.
