IMO : B, I am seeing ||ism here, ' on the creation of ' and 'on construction and decoration of'
I had some doubt on the usage of 'they' and was thinking that it may be ambiguous, but then I realized that artisans' is in possessive form so only a possessive pronoun can refer to a possessive noun. 'They' can not refer to a possessive noun.So,we are left with the Buddha images and hence no ambiguity.
OA ?
