The more today's archaeologists learn about ancient Zoroastrian civilization, the more they understand its contributions to modern world religions. As religious scrolls found in their temples record, they were one of the earliest religions to have an organized system of law, and some scholars argue that their dualist beliefs (a belief in two gods) provided the transition between the widespread polytheism of the time and the subsequent spread of monotheism. Clearly, most Zoroastrians were remarkably capable of engaging with deep religious questions.
The argument's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the ground that the argument:
(A) Generalizes based on a sample that is unlikely to be representative.
(B) Privileges one type of religious system over another without justification.
(C) Ignores the remarkable theological accomplishments of other ancient civilizations.
(D) Fails to properly characterize "deep religious questions."
(E) Oversimplifies the historical relationship between monotheism and polytheism.
