Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Monotheism

The first commandment is You shall not have other gods before me and the second commandment is You shall not make unto you any graven image.

The first commandment instructs to worship only God, and since it forbids the worship of multiple gods, it enacts monotheism above all things.

The second commandment forbids the creation and veneration of images and, therefore, it is a prohibition of idolatry, since it leads to polytheism or worship of multiple gods.

These two commandments were very important for ancient Hebrews, because during that period they were living among polytheistic people and the worship of images was a very common practice in the ancient Middle East. The commandments established strongly and systematically the first Monotheistic religion that exists to this day and that was the basis of other Monotheistic systems, like Christianity and Islam.
