Answer:

D. For private prayer and worship in their homes

Explanation:

Aztec temples were often part of a step pyramid, and often looked west. A flight of steps led to the sanctuary and there was a sacrificial altar at the top.

The Aztecs used this altar for sacrificial rituals, including human sacrifice in honor of the numerous gods that the Aztecs worshiped. Members of the Aztec priesthood killed the victim (sometimes children) at the altar. Then they threw the corpse down the steps and presented the heart of the victim in the sanctuary of the god.

The builders built the Aztec temples using bricks and covered them with stone and plaster. The chronicles describe them as white buildings painted with bright colors. Excavations in some temples confirm these descriptions. While the Aztecs dedicated most of their temples to a single deity, they dedicated some temples to two separate gods. Some of the main worship centers of the Aztecs are in Teotihuacán, Cholula and Tenochtitlán.
