Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
BAPTIST and METHODIST are both specific denominations within Christianity, so they are on the same level of abstraction. JEWISH and CATHOLIC are both specific religions, but they are not on the same level of abstraction as they are representing different faiths. Therefore, D is the best choice.
