B- Egyptians worshipped many gods

By breaking down the word "polytheistic" into it's components you can derive the answer. Poly, which is a prefix meaning many and the word theistic, which is defined as the belief in the existence of a god or gods. Therefore, the polytheistic society indicates the belief in many gods.
