The correct answer is C, as all this religions look to the Old Testament as the root of their belief systems.

These religions have their origin in the patriarch Abraham, who is recognized as such by both Christianity, Judaism and Islam. From this figure, these 3 religions developed their beliefs in a different way, but maintaining this common origin.

As the story of Abraham unfolds in the Old Testament, this is the text that gives rise to the beliefs of these religions.
