Explanation:

This question is asking which of the options did not form part of Asa's religious reforms in Judah. Asa was a king in Judah who was known for his religious reforms which aimed to rid the land of idol worship and other forms of religious practices that were not in line with the worship of the true God.

Option A states that Asa abolished male cult prostitution in the land. This is true as one of Asa's religious reforms was to rid the land of all forms of sexual immorality which included male cult prostitution.

Option B states that Asa removed all the idols which his father made. This is also true as Asa's father had introduced idol worship to Judah and Asa saw it as his duty to remove all the idols and restore the worship of the true God.

Option C states that Asa cut the image made by Maacah for Asherah. This is also true as Maacah was Asa's grandmother and had made an image for Asherah which was an idol. Asa destroyed the image as part of his religious reforms.

Option D states that Asa did not destroy the high places. This option is incorrect as Asa did destroy the high places. High places were places of worship for idol worship and Asa destroyed them as part of his religious reforms.

Option E states that Asa removed Maacah from being queen mother. This is also true as Maacah was involved in idol worship and Asa saw it as necessary to remove her from her position as queen mother.

Therefore, the correct option is D, destruction of the high places, as Asa did destroy the high places as part of his religious reforms in Judah.
