Among what people did the worship of one god first emerge and become the foundation of a major religion? a. israelites b. egyptians c. persians d. sumerians

   A. Israelites

Explanation:  The Egyptians, Persians and Sumerians were polytheists, meaning they worshipped more than one god. Although, for example, Pharaoh appeared in Egypt who rejected polytheism and established a kind of belief in one god, but after his death religious practice in Egypt returned to polytheism, and this was also not the foundation for the development of a major religion. In Persia, Zoroastrianism once appeared, which was also a kind of precursor to monotheism, but as such is considered the root of monotheistic religions. So some clues and similarities exist between Zoroastrianism and the three monotheistic religions.

Those who first adopted the belief in one God and strengthened their beliefs nationally are Israelites. Their monotheistic religion is a direct foundation of Christianity, which has become one of the most widely represented religions, therefore, a major religion emerged from Judaism.
