This solution has been deemed correct by the post author
Statements A, B and D are correct! Statement C is incorrect, since revitalisation movements do indeed constitute an example of human agency.
Also refer to page 77 of your UNISA Study Guide:
“An influential leader may come to the fore, who will mobilise, organise and direct their sentiments into action. In extreme cases, this may take the form of an uprising or even a revolution, but it can at least become a movement for change. Anthropologists often refer to these changes as “cultural adjustment” or “revitalisation movements” – in other words, human agency in action”
