The correct answer is **D. Shinto does not have a sacred text.**
Shinto is characterized by its lack of a central scripture or sacred text, which sets it apart from major religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, each of which has established holy texts (the Bible, the Quran, and the Tanakh, respectively). Additionally, Shinto is a polytheistic religion, worshiping numerous kami (deities or spirits), rather than only one god as implied in option C.
