Answer:

The correct option is;

d. They were the first group to have monotheism

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike other neighboring groups, that practiced polytheism by having several gods and goddesses, the Hebrew were among one of the first people that had a religion with a Monotheistic belief. Monotheism is the belief in a single supernatural God rather than having many gods and goddesses.

The religious idea of a singular omnipresent (present everywhere), omniscient (knows everybody's thoughts, knows everything) God was a strange idea at that period.

The idea of Monotheism was promoted first by Abraham and is now practiced worldwide.
