The belief shared by Sunnis and Shias from the options provided is that any righteous male Muslim can be chosen as caliph.

While Shia Islam typically emphasizes the leadership of Imams, who are seen as divinely appointed and part of the Prophet Muhammad's family, Sunnis generally believe that caliphs can be chosen from among the righteous male Muslims, not restricted to his descendants.

The other beliefs mentioned reflect distinctions between Sunni and Shia beliefs rather than shared beliefs.
