That would be C. Zoroastrianism is monotheistic and started in Persia (present-day Iran) by a man named Zoroaster. His followers believed in environmentalist ideas, such as avoiding burying bodies near water sources (I think), among other things. Vedic religions (I'm assuming Hinduism) were started in India & are very polytheistic. They also believe in a caste system.
