D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How did the Diaspora change the way the Jews practiced their religion? The Diaspora changed the way that Jews practiced their religion because after the destruction of the second temple and their exile from Jerusalem, the Jews did not have a central place to worship or have rabbis lead the services.

Detailed explanation-2: -The early Jews who were exiled from their homeland in Israel – the first ‘diaspora’ – took their religious traditions, practices and beliefs with them as they travelled to new lands. It wasn’t their aim to convert others to Judaism, but the religion spread with them as they migrated and settled.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Jewish diaspora had migrated to Rome and to the territories of Roman Europe from the land of Israel, Anatolia, Babylon and Alexandria in response to economic hardship and incessant warfare over the land of Israel between the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires from the 4th to the 1st centuries BCE.
