Explanation:

Analyze the definition of a pilgrimage church

A pilgrimage church is historically defined both by its function as a destination for pilgrims to worship and by the presence of sacred relics (such as the bones or belongings of saints) that draw those pilgrims to the site.

Evaluate the given options

• Statement A ("A church frequently visited because of the relics of saints") is correct because relics are the primary spiritual draw for medieval and historical pilgrimages.
• Statement B ("A church where pilgrims would worship") is correct because these structures were specifically designed with architectural features (like ambulatories and radiating chapels) to accommodate the influx of worshipping pilgrims.
• Therefore, both statements A and B accurately describe a pilgrimage church.

• B
• C (Correct answer)
