Final answer:
The correct answer is option b. In Genesis 3, Eve is deceived by the Serpent, who convinces her to eat the forbidden fruit from the 'Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil,' leading to dire consequences as outlined in the narrative.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the narrative of Genesis 3, Eve is deceived by B. Serpent. The serpent, described as the craftiest of all the wild creatures that the LORD God had made, engages in a conversation with Eve and contradicts God's warning by assuring her that eating from the 'Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil' would not lead to death but would open her eyes to be like God, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:4-5 states, 'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman. 'For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' Influenced by the serpent's words, Eve eats the forbidden fruit and shares it with Adam, leading to the consequences that God laid out. This act of deception by the serpent and the subsequent actions of Adam and Eve set the stage for significant theological discussions regarding sin, free will, and the human condition.
