Answer 2

The correct answer is C) World Parents.

World parents creation stories are a form of myths in which the world or universe is the result of a sexual union between two primordial parents, which are deities. For example, in the Hindu religion, the universe was the result of the union between Shiva (male force) and Shakti (female force). In other religions and mythologies, the world was the result of the union (or separation) between the sky and the Earth, the two primordial parents.

This metaphor of two opposing forces that complement each other to create something new represents sexuality and a dual vision of morality and every aspect of life: good and bad, hot and cold, wet and dry. According to these myths, from this opposition between contraries, the world is constantly created.
