C) 8th century BCE D) 10th century BCE
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6th century BCE

Explanation:

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.

 

The Iranian prophet and religious reformer Zarathustra flourished before the 6th century BCE more widely known outside Iran as Zoroaster is traditionally regarded as the founder of the religion.

 

Zoroastrianism contains both monotheistic and dualistic features. It likely influenced the other major Western religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
