It is C, it is C because According to the Hebrew Bible, a man named Abraham was the founder of the Israelites. He was born in Mesopotamia. About 1800 BCE, he went to live in Canaan. Abraham had left his home to find a new religion. In time, it came to be called Judaism, or the Jewish religion. Followers of Judaism are called Jews.

Judaism was not like other religions of that time. Other ancient people believed that there are many gods. This is called polytheism. Abraham believed in only one God. This is called monotheism. In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh Akhenaton had worshiped one God above the others. Abraham believed that there was only one God that was invisible and all powerful.
So that is the Answer. Hope this helped Mrs.Sue.
