Your answer is correct. Zoroastrianism is an ancient faith of Iranian origin. It was founded by the prophet Zarathustra (also known as Zoroaster) in ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) around the 6th century BCE. This religion played a significant role in shaping the cultural, philosophical, and religious history of the region.
To arrive at the correct answer, you can eliminate the other options by considering their origins and historical contexts.
A. Judaism: Although Judaism is an ancient religion, it originated in the ancient Near East, not specifically in Iran. It has its roots in the region of Canaan, which includes present-day Israel and Palestine.
B. Islam: Islam is another ancient religion, but it did not originate in Iran. It was founded by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century CE in present-day Saudi Arabia.
C. Christianity: Christianity, like Islam, did not originate in Iran. It emerged in the 1st century CE in the eastern Mediterranean, particularly in the region of Palestine (modern-day Israel and Palestine).
By process of elimination, you correctly identified Zoroastrianism, which is the ancient faith of Iranian origin among the given options.
