D Correct answer
Explanation

Irreverent means showing a lack of respect or disrespect. Pious means showing reverence, especially toward God, and is the strongest antonym among the options. While 'respecting' appears related, it's a participle form rather than an adjective. Pious directly captures the quality of being reverent and dutiful in a way that opposes irreverence.
