The correct answer is D. The Gregorian calendar is divided based on Jesus's birth, but the Muslim calendar starts when Muhammad moved to Medina. The gregorian calendar is actually a revised version of the Julian calendar, but Julian is now only used in some churches while Gregorian is used as a regular calendar for everyone. Muslim calendar is used mostly by religious leaders.
