The correct answer is C. Religion.
Explanation
Religion is a system of beliefs, customs, practices, and symbols around a divinity or the sacred. Religions appeared for the first time after the Neolithic revolution, which meant the settlement of human groups, the division of labor, the development of agriculture and, with it, more time dedicated to the observation of nature. These early religions were characterized by three basic principles that were temples, priests, and offerings. Additionally, religion consolidated a system of values that supported the cohesion of groups. Another important characteristic of religions is that they are based on mythological stories that explain the origin of life. Besides, in some cultures with writing tradition, religions are based on texts of a sacred nature, which can summon their followers around the same spiritual community. So, the correct answer is C. Religion.
