b. It is against the law to deny the existence of multiple gods.
c. It is forbidden to tell a lie about a member of your community.
d. It is unlawful to spend time with a person of another religion.

Answer 1

C. It is forbidden to tell a lie about a member of your community.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."

Answer 2

I believe that the correct answer is the option C. It is forbidden to tell a lie about a member of your community. it is the ninth commandment "Thou shalt not bear false witness against a neighbour.

It seems than the concept false witness might have been originated for only lying in a court of law. But today a broader conception is accepted and sees every form of lie prohibited by this commandment.
