  2. Yahweh
  3. Torah
  4. Abraham
  5. Adam
Explanation

Answer: D - According to Jewish tradition, Abraham was the father of the Hebrew people through his son Isaac. For this reason, the faiths that originated with the Hebrews (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) are considered the Abrahamic religions. According to the Old Testament, Abraham (then Abram), a tenth generation descendant of Noah, was instructed by Yahweh (or God) to travel to Canaan, which became the location of the Israelite kingdom. For his obedience, Abram entered into a covenant with Yahweh and was renamed Abraham, meaning "father of many nations." According to Islamic tradition, Abraham is also an ancestor of Muhammad, one of the most central figures in the Muslims' faith.
