Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — Ha-Kotel Ha-Ma'aravi
Ha-Kotel Ha-Ma'aravi means 'the Western Wall' in Hebrew and is the correct term for this sacred site. Ha-Makom Ha-Kadosh simply means 'the holy place' and is not a specific name. Har HaBayit HaGadol is not a standard term; Har HaBayit means Temple Mount, not the Wall itself. Ha-Shaar Ha-Yafo refers to the Jaffa Gate, an entrance to the Old City, not the Wall.
