    The correct answer is D. It is not true that people under communism had the right to speak freely and worship as they chose.

    Explanation:

    One of the main characteristics of communism is its lack of respect for the individual freedoms of its citizens. This situation is not only limited to the economic rights and freedoms of the population, but also to their civil rights. Thus, the communist government not only controls in a ferrous way the economic activity of its citizens (to which their goods and their production are expropriated), but also controls their freedom of expression and choice.

    Thus, communist governments control the media exclusively and monopolistically, constantly disseminating propaganda and censoring (or even imprisoning) those who express themselves contrary to the regime. This is currently happening in Cuba and China, where any expression contrary to the regime is sanctioned with prison.

    But in addition, these governments do not allow religious activities within their territory, which constitutes another abuse of the freedom of expression of their citizens, under the pretext that these beliefs can influence thoughts contrary to the order established by the government.
