Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Palimpsest.

 

Definition: A palimpsest is a piece of writing material (such as a parchment or tablet) on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing, but of which traces remain.

Etymology: It comes from the Greek word palimpsēstos, meaning "scraped again."

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
