Deities are supernatural beings or lesser gods.
The correct answer is: They are supernatural beings or lesser gods.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options and determine the correct definition by process of elimination:
1. They are deceased family members people pray to for blessings and protection. This option describes ancestral worship or the veneration of ancestors, which is different from the concept of deities.
2. They are platforms or tables used for religious services. This option refers to altars or other ritual furniture used in religious ceremonies, not to deities themselves.
3. They are holy places with a building or structure built on top. This option describes temples or shrines, which are dedicated to deities, but the definition of "deities" itself is not captured in this option.
Therefore, the correct answer is: They are supernatural beings or lesser gods.
