The correct answer should be

D. They promised a way for people to end worldly suffering.

The four noble truths explain the origins and the existence of suffering and how it affects us. The Eightfold path explains how to end it by following certain rules and behaving in a certain way. It is a way to become more spiritual and stop suffering and having desires and similar things.
