D. The gods demanded larger and larger places of worship

Answer 1

B. The people wanted a tower that could reach the heavens

Step-by-step explanation:

The story says that God, seeing the tower and the city, said: "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them." So God confused their language and scattered them over the face of the earth. The tower was never completed.
