D) the light of Christ or our conscience

Answer :

Final answer:

Alma compared the Liahona, an instrument guiding Lehi’s family in the wilderness, to the word of Christ or the Holy Ghost for individuals today, providing guidance and counsel in their lives.

Explanation:

The student asked about Alma's teachings to his sons, specifically in relation to what Alma considered to be the type or similarity of the Liahona for us today. According to Alma, this would be the word of Christ or the Holy Ghost. The Liahona, described in the Book of Mormon, was a compass-like instrument given to Lehi and his family by the Lord to guide them through the wilderness to the promised land. In a figurative sense for contemporary followers, the word of Christ or the guidance of the Holy Ghost serves a similar purpose in directing and providing counsel and direction in one's life as the Liahona did for Lehi's family.
