B. A combination of the Gemara and the Mishnah.

Explanation:

The Talmud is the primary basic central text of the Rabbinical Judaism. It also constitutes the main text or basis of the Jewish religious beliefs and practices. This book is the generic term used for the documents or writings of which the Jewish religious beliefs are based from. This collection of writings are categorized into two parts - the Mishnah and the Gemara.

The Mishnah cmprises of the written compendium of the laws, statutes and legal practices of the Jewish / Judaism's beliefs while the Gemara is more of an analysis and commentary on the whole of the Talmud.
