Answer 1

C.Though its government and legal system are based on Islam, it established tolerance for other religions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The official religion of the country is the Shiite duodeciman Islam. The majority are Muslims: 89% Shiites, the official state religion and 9% Sunnis. Among minority religions, the Bahá'í faith, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Christianity stand out. Iran is a theocratic state in which there is no separation between the state and religion. The political system of the Islamic Republic is based on the 1979 constitution. The system encompasses several intricately connected governing bodies. The Supreme leader of Iran is responsible for the delineation and supervision of general policies, is commander in chief of the armed forces and controls the intelligence and security operations of the Republic.
