Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A (the holy place and the holy of holies were united)

Explanation

The temple curtain divided the holy place from the holy of holies, where only the high priest could go. When it was torn from top to bottom at Jesus' death (Mark 15:38), the barrier was removed, showing that the way into God's presence was now open (Hebrews 10:19-20).
