Correct choices: A and D.

- D is true: The ceremonial Mesoamerican ballgame has roots in Olmec culture and influenced later societies, including the Maya.
B is false (later cultures reused and transformed some Olmec motifs and deities, but they did not simply worship the exact same pantheon), and C is false and anachronistic (Olmec military practices were not used by the Zapotec against the Spanish).
