Answer:

c, they were created to honor zeus

Step-by-step explanation:

zeus is a part of their religion, posing as the king of the gods. they were named olympics because of mount olympus, where he lived. they were held in a temple, but that was for sacrifices, which was for zeus, making him the more important one. they were not daily, much like the modern day olympics, and the were played by the stronger, again, much like modern day olympics.
