The correct answer is D. Orthodox Jews.

Orthodox Jews observe the Sabbath (Shabbat) from Friday evening to Saturday evening, during which they refrain from work and activities that are considered labor. They may avoid surgery on the Sabbath unless it is a life-threatening emergency. This reflects their religious commitment to rest and spiritual reflection on holy days.
