Answer;

A) They believed in many gods.

Answer 2

A. They believed in many gods. The main evidence from Olmec's religious system come from their art, mainly from sculptures of what are supposed to be their gods, named Gods I-X by Peter D. Joralemon (researcher to the Olmec's culture); apart from the figures that could be the gods themselves, no evidence of any organized religious practice have been found.
