Yanıt Açıklaması:

The gifts for the dead included a disc peculiar to the Hattis. This is called the “Hittite Solar Disc.” It was produced by a casting and wrought technique and bulls and deer were drawn on it. Furthermore, sculptures of bulls and deer epitomizing the gods were also found in tombs. In the royal tombs of Alacahöyük, Mahmatlar and Horoztepe, deer and bull statuettes -- which were considered sacred -- have been obtained. These statuettes are of the same style as the solar discs in terms of embellishment. The bull represents the god of the sky, whereas the deer represents the mother goddess. The correct answer is C.
