C) The covenant, the law, and the prophets
Explanation:
The Law of Moses is a set of instructions and decrees communicated by God to the prophet Moses, regulating the religious and social life of the people of Israel and its individual members.
The law, including the Ten Commandments, was set forth in the early books of Moses.
Prior to exile, Hebrew political history passed under the 'banner' of prophets who always abide with their people and oppose the policies of rulers. Preaching purity, honesty, and devotion to the covenant made with God, they interpreted existing and predicted future misfortunes of the state, claiming that they were caused by the godlessness of the people.

Hope this helps!
