Answer:
A. God offered the Israelites protection and a homeland. In return the Israelites committed to follow God's law.
Step-by-step explanation:
The covenant between God and the Israelites is part of the beliefs of Judaism. The story tells us that the Israelites are God's chosen people, and that from the times of the prophet Abraham, the Israelites and God have had a covenant (a pact, a promise, an agreement). This states that God will provide them protection and a homeland (the "Promised Land"). In exchange, the Israelites will commit to respecting and following God's laws.
