Maddox Hardy · Answer 1

The correct answer is C. the belief that everything on Earth has a place in the natural order which is determined by its creator. He couldn't have made a theory about God being the creator since the single deity version of God came much later as Greece was polytheistic during his time. This belief was exploited by the Elizabethans to keep the poorer classes in what they believed was their place.
