The answer is A. Egyptians.

Hebrew's religion is Judaism, its term was the name given to Abraham's descendants about 4000 years ago, Abraham was the first person to teach the idea that there was only one almighty God.

In opposition to Hebrews, the religion of Egyptians was polytheistic. Over the course of its history, hundreds of gods and goddesses were worshiped. The characteristics of them could vary and weren't always entirely defined, the majority were benevolent, and they usually represented one aspect of the earth, for example, "Ra" was the sun god, "Nut" was the goddess of the sky and "Seth" embodied the malevolent and disordered aspects of the world.

Their physical form also varied from an animal, a human or the combination of both, and not so common was the "comic Gods" or fantasy Gods, such as Bes, with the appearance of a dwarf, and Taurt, a goddess whose physical form combined the features of a hippopotamus and a crocodile.
