Question

what aztec religious practice is represented in the picture above? fasting; food offerings to the gods; temple construction; human sacrifice

Explanation:

The image depicts a figure on an Aztec temple platform with a prone figure below, a scene consistent with well-documented Aztec religious rituals of offering human lives to deities. The other options do not match the visual content: fasting involves no ritual scene of this type, food offerings do not show a prone human figure, and temple construction focuses on building, not this ritual act.

Answer:

D. Human sacrifice
