The Aztecs called the plague as Tezcatlipoca

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Tezcatlipoca was the name of the plague. It was named after Tezcatlipoca - an Aztec God. According to the Aztec mythology, he was known for portraying opposite roles. Sometimes he was destructive in nature and sometimes he would create a lot of havoc.

He was a important God in the pantheon of Aztec Gods as ancient Aztecs believed that through the contrasting roles he managed to create the world. In the local language his name translates to smoking mirror.
