Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Aztec Empire was a great cvilization, one of the most advanced before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors. But like any other civilization, it had some negative aspects or customs. Human sacrifices to gods were a common practice among the Aztecs as it had been before among the Mayas. Prisoners of war taken among vanquished peoples or tribes were sacrificed in religious ceremonies.
