D Correct answer
Explanation

Quito is the capital of Ecuador but not its largest city - Guayaquil has approximately 2.7 million people compared to Quito's 1.8 million. The statement about being the first UNESCO World Heritage Site (1978) is true, as is the founding date of 1534 and the city's history of seismic activity due to its location in the Andean seismic zone.
