The options that are given for this Bing homepage quiz are listed below:

A: Polygonal prisms
B: Graduated cylinders
C: Noodles

The correct answer is Polygonal prisms.

See The Reason for That answer below:

Columnar joints are formed when lava or magma cools and contracts, causing it to crack into polygonal shapes. The most common shape is hexagonal, with six sides, but columnar joints can have between three and eight sides depending on the conditions under which they formed.

When you look at a group of columnar joints, it can indeed look like a carpet of hexagons, especially if they are tightly packed together. This is because the hexagonal shape is the most efficient way for the cracks to form and is the most stable configuration for the columns.

The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is one of the best examples of columnar jointing in the world, with tens of thousands of hexagonal columns on display. The site is a popular tourist destination and attracts millions of visitors each year who come to marvel at this geological wonder.
