Option: d. disgusted Europeans despite their own practices of publicly executing criminals and burning witches at the stake.

Explanation:

When the Spanish first came to Central America, they were surprised to see the civilizations with the practice of rituals that required a heart of a human being. The Spanish were terrified by the notion that the Aztecs believed in deities that frequently expected blood.

Aztec believed about the creation and destruction of the world. Aztec required these rituals and practices to keep Gods happy.
