Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Spirituality refers to a connection with something larger than oneself and a belief in transcendence. The other responses do not apply to spirituality. Belief in and the worship of God or gods and attendance at a specific church or place of worship apply to religion. Being closely tied to one's ethnic background is not a concept of spirituality or religion.
