b) Rejected

Answer 1

Eutychianism claims that Jesus' humanity was absorbed by His divinity, asserting that He had two natures before the Incarnation but only one afterwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eutychianism asserts that Jesus' humanity was absorbed by His divinity. According to this heresy, Jesus had two natures before the Incarnation (fully divine and fully human), but only one nature afterwards (fully divine). Eutychianism rejects the idea that Jesus had a distinct human nature after the Incarnation. This belief was considered heretical by the Council of Chalcedon in 451.
