A.TheplacewhereWestdidhisresearch.

B.TheperiodwhentheSphinxwasbuilt,

C.ThereasonwhyWestholdshisopinion.

D.ThetechnologywhichwasusedtobuildtheSphinx.

答案:C

解析:第四段主要围绕JohnAnthonyWest关于吉萨狮身人面像建造时间的观点展开。先提到他受法国研究者影响对古代历史产生兴趣，然后讲述其与科学家合作的研究发现狮身人面像被水磨损而非风沙，进而推断若此观点成立则狮身人面像建造时间更早，最后强调挑战既定观念对科学进步的重要性。整个段落核心在于阐述West持此观点的原因及依据。
