Which of the following features of the Cathedral of Saint James help identify it as a pilgrimage church?

Answer
A
pews
B
side portals
C
altar
D
relics

Explanation

Pilgrimage churches were built to attract visitors who came to honor the sacred remains or objects associated with a saint. Relics are therefore a key feature that identifies the Cathedral of Saint James as a pilgrimage church. Pews, side portals, and an altar can appear in many churches and do not identify a pilgrimage church by themselves.
