Solution

The correct option is A Embraced the practice of polygamy
Mormon is a religious group founded by Joseph Smith. Mormons consider themselves as Christians and believe in the crucifixion, resurrection and divinity of Jesus Christ. Followers claim that God sent more prophets after Jesus’s death. Followers don’t recognize the Christian concept of the trinity. Instead, they believe the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three separate gods.
