What is the main reason for calling Sigiriya a rock fortress?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is linked with fort palace and garden planning on a huge rock

Sigiriya is known as a rock fortress because an important historical complex was built on and around a massive natural rock in Sri Lanka. The elevated rock gave the settlement a strong defensive advantage. The complex included a palace or fortified area, entrances, walls, water features, and carefully planned gardens. Its position and construction joined natural geography with human defence and architecture.

Option C is correct because it mentions the large rock, the fortress-palace, and the planned gardens. The name Lion Rock is also associated with Sigiriya because of its famous lion imagery and entrance tradition. The other options are clearly unrelated: Sigiriya is not under the sea, not a modern hotel, and not merely a coral reef.
