  Spiritualism
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Gnosticism

Explanation
The correct answer is Gnosticism. Gnosticism was a belief system that emerged in the early Christian era and claimed to possess secret knowledge or gnosis that could lead to salvation. It taught that the physical world was evil and that salvation could only be attained through special knowledge or enlightenment. This false teaching contradicted the teachings of John, who emphasized the importance of the incarnation of Jesus and the physicality of his death and resurrection. John's letter in 1 John was written to counter the influence of Gnosticism and affirm the true nature of Jesus and salvation.
