D. They built pagodas as temples where they could pay respect to their ancestors.

Explanation:

For those who practice the popular religion of China, after death one cultivates the "conversation with the ancestors", this is because they believe that the ancestors are in an afterlife process. But if for some it's "a private conversation," for others it's "just something you do at festivals."

That is why there are so many festivities in which ancestor worship is celebrated in China. This is the case of the Qingming Festival, a day when the Chinese go to the cemeteries, clean the graves, offer food, tea and wine to the dead, burn incense and papers. Or even the Festival of Hungry Spirits, when offerings are placed at the doorstep and in cemeteries, especially for spirits who are not at peace.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
