What is the term for the place of burial such as a cemetery or graveyard?

• A. Chapel
• B. Mortuary
• C. Cemetery
• D. Crematorium

Answer: (C)

A cemetery is the designated place for burying the dead. It is the burial ground where graves are placed and marked, and where long-term interment takes place. The other options serve different functions: a chapel is for religious services, including funeral rites; a mortuary is a facility for preparing and holding the deceased before burial or cremation; a crematorium is where cremation is performed. Since the question describes a place of burial such as a cemetery or graveyard, cemetery is the correct term.
