Answer 2

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The pagoda is the multi-level building common in several Asian countries, among others China, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand and Korea. Most of the pagodas were built for religious purposes, mainly as part of Hinduism, which is why they are located near or inside Buddhist temples.

The modern pagoda is an evolution of the Indian stupa, a structure in the shape of a tumulus where sacred relics were sheltered. The architectural form of the stupa was spread throughout Asia, taking various forms by incorporating specific details of each locality.
