单项选择题

The historian Batalla has properly concluded that although the
Mesoamerican central plateau was militarily conquered in 1521, this conquest
did not directly translate into a complete physical, cultural, and psychological
Line surrender, largely because of survival strategies. Batalla’s creative three step
(5) model of resistance, innovation, and appropriation helps explain the modern
survival and transformation of the Nahua culture. Resistance, the first,
includes the native refusing to use fertilizer transported from outside of the
communities and those Nahua who burned the school that had been built for
them on the same day it was to be inaugurated. The second mechanism,
(10) innovation, included their use of metal drills to create hair pipe and snuff lids to
manufacture jingles. And to appreciate the third survivalist tactic,
appropriation, we need only consider the way in which native Nahua people
have superficially appropriated the Catholic religion as a surface cover for their
indigenous customs.

It can be inferred that the author’s views the superficial appropriation of the Catholic religion as which of the following()

(A) Disrespectful
(B) Clever
(C) Aggressive
(D) Generous
(E) Futile
