The Hebrew Bible is the major source of information we have about the Israelite population of the Biblical period

Option B

Explanation:

Hebrew bible is a book that was written by men and for men and does not provide any experiences of the women in the period of ancient Israel. Hebrew bible was generated in the period of ancient Israel and the anthropological and the archaeological data have been carefully combined by the scholars with the biblical text which can act as an evidence about the population of Israel in the biblical period. Since the tendency of bible is to focus on the elite class, it tells a lot about the people of elite class of that period.
