D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polytheism is the belief or doctrine that there are multiple gods or deities. Like monotheism, the word polytheism can be used in the context of specific religions (such as Hinduism) or outside of formal religion. A person who believes in multiple gods can be called a polytheist.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polytheism is belief in many gods-it’s kind of the opposite of monotheism, which is belief in one god. If you believe in polytheism, you have a bunch of gods to thank or blame.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polytheism by definition is the belief in and worship of many gods. The word “poly” means many, and “theism” means the belief in the existence of a divine god. Though more than half of the world’s population practices monotheism, most religions are actually polytheistic.
