Correct answer: C. three

"Triumvirate" is a word (from Latin) which means "a group of three men." It is used to refer to a ruling group composed of three persons or entities. In the triumvirate of Hindu supreme deity, Brahma deals with creation, Vishnu deals with preservation, and Shiva deals with the destruction. Hindu belief sees the universe in a constant, recurring path of creation, existence, destruction and recreation. This is seen in the idea of reincarnation of individual souls into more than one experience of life.

Historically, Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world, dating back over 4,000 years. Today there are about 900 million followers of Hinduism in the world, mostly located in India (the original home of the religion).
