C
Explanation
The terms provided are fundamental architectural and liturgical elements of a mosque. A Mihrab is a semicircular or arched niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the direction of Mecca. A Mimbar (or minbar) is a stepped pulpit or staircase from which the Imam delivers sermons. The Khutba (or khutbah) refers to the actual sermon delivered by the Imam, typically during Friday prayers [1]. Finally, Kibla (or qibla) is the specific direction towards the Kaaba in Mecca that Muslims face during prayer. Matching these definitions: A-3 (Mihrab-Arch/Niche), B-1 (Mimbar-Stepped pulpit), C-4 (Khutba-Sermon), and D-2 (Kibla-Direction towards Kaba). This corresponds to Option 3.
