Answer:
D. to express sharp disapproval of someone’s behavior
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from "On Reverence for Parents" by Zhao Ban,
"If your parents rebuke you,
Receive it not impatiently,
But, standing in their presence,
Hear with reverence and obedient heart,"
The word “rebuke” most closely means that there's a sharp disapproval of a particular behavior.
This is shown in the excerpt as the narrator says that if your parents rebuke you, we should receive it patiently.
