The correct answer is "His mother was a Christian and his father was a pagan".
Explanation:
Saint Augustine of Hippo is one prominent figure of the Western Church and Western philosophy. St. Augustine may have understood the shift away from paganism and toward Christianity particularly well because his mother was a Christian and his father was a pagan. Augustine's mother Monica, was raised as Christian and his fervent faith inspired Augustine since his childhood. On the other hand, Augustine's father was a minor official of the Roman empire, was a pagan, an adherent of the Roman civic religion. Augustine's father converted to Christianity before his death.
