Solution
The correct option is D Zoroastrianism
At one point of time, Zoroastrianism was the state religion of at least three Persian dynasties. Still, the invasion of Iran at the hands of Rashidun Caliphate in the 7th Century CE led to the decline of the Zoroastrian religion in Iran. Zoroastrians were severely persecuted. Today Iran is mostly populated by Islam practitioners.
