B
They fought in the army and built temples
C
They worshipped the gods and paid taxes
D
They fought in the army and worked at the Forum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They fought in the army and paid taxes. How did the Plebeians convince the Patricians that they should have more rights? They refused to serve in the army & left the city to set up their own republic.

Detailed explanation-2: -After the Conflict of the Orders, plebeians were allowed to participate in politics and gain political offices and power in society. The plebeians elected tribunes to give them a voice in government. However, the patricians held most of the power. Patricians and Plebeians rarely married between classes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The end of the Conflict of the Orders (367–287 BC) In the decades following the passage of the Licinio-Sextian law of 367 BC, a series of laws were passed which ultimately granted plebeians political equality with patricians. The patrician era came to a complete end in 287 BC, with the passage of the Hortensian law.

Detailed explanation-4: -I think that this forced the patricians to give the plebeians the rights they demanded because everyone needed the plebeians in the army and navy so it benefits the patricians.
