Answer: D
The largest and most famous Udayagiri sculpture is the Varaha avatar.
In Cave 5 of the Udayagiri caves near Vidisha, of the early fifth century CE (Gupta period, under Chandragupta II), a colossal relief shows Vishnu as the boar Varaha lifting the earth goddess Bhudevi from the cosmic ocean, surrounded by rows of sages and gods. It is the largest and best-known panel of the site.
Matsya, Kurma and Vamana are other avatars of Vishnu, but none is the subject of Udayagiri's great relief.
