Which of the following is not one of the principal types of Agni mentioned in the Rigveda ?
Havyavaha
Havyavaha option is correct.
In the Rigveda and later Brahmana literature the domestic and sacrificial ritual is organised around three principal fires (tretagni): the Garhapatya, the round householder’s fire kept perpetually burning to the west of the ritual area; the Ahavaniya, the square eastern fire into which offerings to the gods are cast; and the Dakshinagni (or Dakshina), the semicircular southern fire used for offerings to the ancestors and to ward off malignant powers. Together these three constitute the srauta fire complex used in every solemn Vedic sacrifice.
“Havyavaha” is not a fourth principal type. It is a common Vedic epithet of Agni himself — literally “the carrier of the oblation” — describing Agni’s function of conveying havis to the gods, not a distinct ritual hearth.
Hence Dakshina, Garhapatya and Ahavaniya are the three canonical fires; Havyavaha is the odd one out.
