What belief or worship centers on the existence of only one god?

• A. Monarchy
• B. Multicultural
• C. Mediums of exchange
• D. Monotheism

Answer: (D)

This question tests how religions describe the number of gods. Monotheism is the belief in only one god, and worship centers on that single divine being. Religions that are monotheistic teach that there is one supreme deity who created and governs the world, even though people may have various rituals, moral laws, or religious practices around that faith. Examples include Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

In contrast, other terms here relate to nonreligious ideas: monarchy is about ruling authority in a state by a king or queen; multicultural refers to a society that includes many different cultures; and mediums of exchange describe tools like money used in trade. None of these describe beliefs about how many gods exist, which is why monotheism is the correct concept for this question.
