In the off-season, Clemente returned to his homeland, playing winter baseball in the Puerto Rican League, providing baseball clinics to young players, and spending time with his family. He headed relief efforts in Puerto Rico after a massive earthquake hit Nicaragua in late December 1972. When Clemente received reports that the Nicaraguan army had stolen relief supplies meant for the people, he decided to accompany the next supply plane. Shortly after takeoff from the San Juan airport on Dec. 31, 1972, the plane crashed, killing Clemente. The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, waived the rule requiring a five-year wait after retirement (or death) before a player could be elected to the Hall, and in July 1973 Clemente was the first player born in Latin America to be inducted into the national baseball shrine. The award presented annually to a Major League Baseball player for exemplary sportsmanship and community service was renamed the Roberto Clemente Award in 1973.

Answer:

D- Clemente was inducted into the Nicaraguan Baseball Hall of Fame.

Explanation:

Eventhough Clemente never played in Nicaragua, he did some great things for the Nicaraguans helping them when the Earthquake hit in their land, so the best way to honor him would be to induct him into theNicaraguan Baseball Hall of Fame for his efforts and it would help the narrative of the excerpt very much by showing that they care for what he did for them.
