Answer:

D. Bethlehem.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that Ruth herself did not return, but rather Naomi did, who is her mother-in-law. Ruth simply stayed by the side of Naomi. Quote from the Bible,

Don't urge me to leave or turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. (Ruth 1:16)

It is later stated in verse 19 in to which city they came to, quote:

So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem. (Ruth 1:19)

Therefore, your answer is Bethlehem.
