Answer 1

C. Shinto does not have a sacred text.

Shinto, unlike major religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, does not have a single sacred text comparable to the Bible, Quran, or Hebrew Bible. While it has various texts that reflect its beliefs and practices, there is no central scripture that defines Shinto in the same way that these other religions have their holy books.
