Answer:

B.While most Persians practice Shi'a Islam, most Kurdish people practice Sunni Islam

Step-by-step explanation:

In Iran (Persia) Islam is the official religion up to 96,5% of people identify as Muslims. The Islam practiced mostly by Persian people is Shi’a Islam, and previous evidence has suggested there are up to 90% of Shi’a Muslims. This has been ever since the 15th century when the Safavid dynasty proclaimed it the official religion of the country.

Kurdish people are ethnic groups living in regions of Asia, including in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The majority of Kurdish people today practice Sunni Islam, although there are others that belong to other branches of Islam, Yarsanism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity.
