Solution
The correct option is B Theist 'Theist' refers to a person who believes in the existence of a God or Gods. Hence option B is the correct answer.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because an 'agnostic' is a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God; 'blasphemous' means profane or disrespectful towards God or anything sacred; a 'secularist' is a person who advocates separation of the state from religious institutions. As none of these words means what is asked in the question, they are incorrect.
