I have to agree with @mastermindkakashi on this one. B and C make sense. The people of Pompeii worshiped the Gods so they definitely had temples and of course places to shop and buy food had to have been present (marketplaces). A might actually be an answer as well from what I see in this source, " Slaves were not immediately recognisable by their clothing as everyone wore a simple tunic. Togas were reserved for citizens but were mostly worn on formal occasions. The streets would have been noisy and raucous places with the city’s elite carried aloft on litters. The slaves came from Africa, Greece, somewhere born in Pompeii to become slaves, the wide open forums of the big houses in Pompeii usually contained much utilities, equipment and a water fountain, if they were luck enough. The slaves would have been extremely active and involved in the running of the household and not ‘in the background’ as we might assume. It is thought that up to half the population of Pompeii were freed slaves." http://www.swide.com/art-culture/pompeii-interesting-history-facts-about-daily-life-in-the-ancient-roman-city/2014/02/21
