D) Latent

Explanation:

 The attendance at church, synagogue, or temple is designed primarily to help people to study, pray, worship, sing, etc. Fellowship is also another important purpose. Nevertheless, some people have the natural tendency of observe, compare, and comment on others (sometimes negatively), which is not the intended nor recognised, not the purpose for their attendance. This is called Latent function, in sociology.
