C) 8th century BCE D) 10th century BCE

Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest extant religions. It is the ancient pre-Islamic religion of Iran that survives there in isolated areas and, more prosperously, in India, where the descendants of Zoroastrian Iranian (Persian) immigrants are known as Parsis, or Parsees.
