The correct answer is D. Polytheistic.

Step-by-step explanation

Polytheism is a concept used to name those religions in which there is more than one god, that is, that is the opposite of monotheism (the doctrine based on the existence of a single god). Today we find religions such as Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam that are monotheistic; instead, Hinduism is polytheistic.

Polytheism has its origins in antiquity, with the Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Celtic and American peoples who were polytheists.

In the case of the Greek polytheistic religion we can find a great variety of Gods, among which the following stand out: Zeus (who was the father of the gods and men. He was identified by his lightning), Hera (was the queen of the gods as well as protector of the family), Poseidon (the god of the sea), Ares (the god of war), Athena (the goddess of wisdom and intelligence), Aphrodite (the goddess of love) and Hermes (the god of commerce). So, the correct answer is D. Polythistic.
