Answer
A
People should be extremely respectful of older people in society.
B
If people live good lives and follow the rules, they will be allowed to go to an afterlife when they die.
C
Spirits inhabit all living things and all things in nature, such as trees and rivers.
D
People should not marry or socialize outside their social classes.

Explanation

Confucianism emphasizes respect for elders, family relationships, and social harmony. Therefore, the statement that people should be extremely respectful of older people best expresses Confucian beliefs and practices. The other statements describe beliefs associated with an afterlife, animism, or strict class boundaries rather than a central Confucian teaching.
