Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capitalization rules dictate that proper nouns (like "Holocaust" and "World War II") should be capitalized, as well as the first word in a sentence. Additionally, "Aunt" should be capitalized because it is a title when used in place of a name. Therefore, option D is the correct choice as it follows all of these rules.
