Answer 1

Option: D) Middle East among the Hebrews before the 12th century BCE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hebrews originated from the city of Ur during the Chaldean period. The religious beliefs of the Hebrew people remain different from other ancient people as they believed in one God. During this period, there was a practice of worshipping many gods (polytheism) with each having specialities to unite people together. Hebrews were monotheism who worship one God with rejecting the presence of many gods.
