The correct answer is B. The major difference between Judaism and Hinduism is that Judaism is monotheistic, but Hinduism is polytheistic.

Explanation:

-Judaism is the oldest of the three major monotheistic world religions and the mother religion of Christianity. The principles of faith and the history of Judaism form the main part of the rootstock of the Abrahamic religions, including Christianity and Islam. Its most central principle is the belief in a single, omniscient God who created the universe and continued to play a role in it. According to Jewish faith, God made a covenant with the Jewish people and revealed their laws and commandments as they stand in the Torah. Jewish religious and cultural practice is based on the study and practice of these laws and commandments as interpreted by the various ancient and modern authorities.

-Hinduism is one of the great world religions with between 950 million and one billion followers.  It is a polytheistic religion, as there is diversity of deities among it. The most important gods are Shiva (the god of opposites), Vishnu (who maintains the world) and Mahadevi. The god Brahma, considered important during the centuries just before the beginning of the Christian era, was given less weight since the 400s.
