Options:

A. rituals performed to honor the gods

B. lesser deities with individual personalities who serve the all-powerful god Olodumare

C. priests and priestesses who preside over rituals

D. dancers whose bodies gods use to communicate with other humans

Answer:

B. lesser deities with individual personalities who serve the all-powerful god Olodumare

Step-by-step explanation:

Orixás are elements of nature, and each Orixá represents a force of nature. When someone worship the Orixás, they also worship the elemental forces from water, earth, air, fire, etc.

Therefore, when it is said that one worships Gods, he refers to worshiping the forces of nature, forces that belong to the creation of the great Father, the Father known to humans as "Olorum" (Supreme God).
