Correct answer: D. Old Testament in the Christian Bible.

The ancient Hebrew Bible began with the "Torah," that is, "The Law," which was given through the leader of Israel, Moses. The five books attributed to Moses, referred to collectively as "The Torah," are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The "Torah" or "Law" is only a portion of the Hebrew Bible, which also included the Prophets and the Writings. That whole collection of books that made up the Hebrew Bible are considered the "Old Testament" by Christians in their Bible.

The Torah is the Hebrew word for the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which corresponds very closely to Christian Old Testament - the correct option is D. Old Testament in the Christian Bible.
