D Correct answer
Explanation

In Greco-Roman mythology and religious practices, poppy seeds were commonly used as offerings to the dead, often associated with Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death). The poppy's connection to sleep and death made it symbolically appropriate for funerary offerings. Lemons, roses, and ice were not traditional offerings to the deceased in these myths.
