Hint:, To begin with, we first describe the question The Bidri were the craftsmen who work in copper and silver. The Vishwakarma community, also known as the Viswabrahmin. They also played an important role in the construction of big buildings, tanks, and reservoirs.

Complete step by step answer:
We will discuss Vishwakarma and their people and come to the conclusion of what they do. The town located in the current Indian state of Karnataka is Bidar. The Bidri were craftsmen who worked in copper and silver. The Vishwakarma community, also known as the Vishwabrahmin although do not have an accepted connection to the Brahmins, is a social group of India, sometimes described as a caste. There are five sub-groups in the community including carpenters, blacksmiths, bronze smiths, goldsmiths and stonemasons-who believe that they are descendants of Vishvakarma, a Hindu deity. This deity is worshipped in different forms and follows five Vedas-Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda, and Pranava Veda. There were beliefs that artisan groups were part of the Indus valley civilization which was there before this caste system. There were unstoppable achievements for artists. The Panchalas or Vishwakarma community, consisting of goldsmiths, bronze smiths, blacksmiths, masons, and carpenters, were essential to the building of temples.

So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: For many years they have claimed a higher social status, and believe that the trades which they traditionally follow are superior to the work of a manual laborer because they require artistic and scientific skills as well as those of the hand. Their claim to high status is "one of the mainstays of Vishwakarma identity" is the statement by George Varghese, in what is otherwise a fragmented, incoherent community that internal differences of opinion were always suffering for them.
