The correct answer is (c), Devidhura fair.

One of the main attractions of the Devidhura fair is the stone pelting (stone warfare) that takes place between the two villages of Devidhura and Dharchula. The stone pelting is a centuries-old tradition, and it is believed to be a way of appeasing the goddess Durga.
