    • Muslim

    • Buddhuism

    • Hindu

    Correct Answer
    A. Christians
    Explanation
    The word "Paganism" originated from Christians. Paganism refers to the religious beliefs and practices that existed before the spread of Christianity. The term was coined by early Christians to describe non-Christian religions and their worship of multiple gods. The word "pagan" comes from the Latin word "paganus," which means "rural" or "country-dweller." Early Christians used this term to refer to those who lived in rural areas and continued to follow traditional polytheistic religions. Over time, the term "paganism" came to encompass a wide range of non-Christian beliefs and practices.
