问题            The historian Batalla has properly concluded that although the
       Mesoamerican central plateau was militarily conquered in 1521, this conquest
       did not directly translate into a complete physical, cultural, and psychological
Line    surrender, largely because of survival strategies. Batalla’s creative three step
(5)      model of resistance, innovation, and appropriation helps explain the modern
       survival and transformation of the Nahua culture. Resistance, the first,
       includes the native refusing to use fertilizer transported from outside of the
       communities and those Nahua who burned the school that had been built for
       them on the same day it was to be inaugurated. The second mechanism,
(10)     innovation, included their use of metal drills to create hair pipe and snuff lids to
       manufacture jingles. And to appreciate the third survivalist tactic,
       appropriation, we need only consider the way in which native Nahua people
       have superficially appropriated the Catholic religion as a surface cover for their
       indigenous customs.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author would MOST likely consider which of the following to be an example of a conquered culture adopting an appropriation strategy for the sake of survival?
选项 A、The culture finds that an innocuous everyday object can be used as a deadly weapon against the conqueror.
B、The culture subverts the meaning of the conqueror’s dance in order to perform an outlawed magic ritual.
C、The culture refuses to genuflect in a respectful manner before the conquering people.
D、The culture adopts the conqueror’s warm method of dress in order to survive a harsh climate.
E、The culture uses a ceremony from the conqueror’s religion in order to spread plans for an uprising.
