Answer:

D.  banks and offices closing on Sunday

Explanation:

By Judeo-Christian tradition and the Old Testament, the Law of Moses stated that there should be no work on the seventh day. This was the day when God rested after creating the world, and humans should rest too.

However, the seventh day in the old testament is Sabbath, which actually means Saturday (which is why in Israeli cities, shops, banks, and offices are closed on Saturday, for example). The idea of Sunday as the resting time is likely connected to the fact that Jesus was resurrected on Sunday. Sunday is, therefore, the holy day. It was because of this that Roman emperor Constantine (the first one who converted to Christianism) proclaimed Sunday as the day of rest. The fact that businesses are closed in the US on Sunday reflects the way religion shaped the culture and everyday life.
