C.

-
D.
Partition wall
Correct Answer:
D. Partition wall
Explanation:
The correct answer is Partition wall.
A partition wall is a non-load-bearing vertical structure designed specifically to divide or sub-divide the interior spaces of a building into separate rooms or areas. Unlike load-bearing walls, they do not support the weight of the roof or upper floors, providing flexibility in interior design. These walls can be constructed from various materials such as brick, glass, or timber, and are essential for creating privacy and organized layouts within a larger floor plan. In contrast, cavity walls provide insulation, shear walls resist lateral forces like wind or earthquakes, and load-bearing walls carry the structural weight of the building.
