D Correct answer
Explanation

The pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is required of every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. Islam does not have a formal priesthood mediating between believers and God, nor does it practice baptism. Traditionally, the Quran is believed to be fully understood only in its original Arabic.
