• A. An area of ground set aside and dedicated for the final disposition of dead human bodies.
• B. A monument erected to memory of the dead.
• C. A wheeled collapsible support for the casket.
• D. A structure in a mausoleum containing niches for urns.

Answer: (A)

The term is cemetery. It refers to land set aside specifically for the final disposition of dead human bodies, such as burial plots or grave spaces. Other items describe memorials or structures— a monument is a memorial, a bier is a wheeled support for the casket, and a columbarium is a mausoleum feature with niches for urns. Therefore, the area designated for interment is a cemetery.
