Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

Spiritual practices are intentional activities through which people cultivate inner awareness, devotion, meaning, or a felt connection with the sacred.

Contemplative practices work through focused attention or devotional reflection rather than through ordinary recreation or empirical testing.

Application

Meditation uses focused awareness and prayer uses devotional communication or reflection. Both are established ways of engaging with spirituality.

Contrast

  • Travelling to new places changes one’s physical surroundings; it becomes spiritual only when the journey has a specifically spiritual purpose.

  • Scientific experiments test hypotheses with observable evidence; they may study spiritual experiences but are not themselves a spiritual practice.

  • Sports and music commonly serve exercise, recreation, performance, or artistic expression; the option does not specify a spiritual form of either activity.

Result

Therefore, the practice described is meditation or prayer.
