Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

Due to Solomon's unwise policies, God declared that the kingdom would be taken away from him. However, out of respect for David, Solomon's father, this punishment was deferred until after Solomon's death. The kingdom was then divided, with ten tribes given to Jeroboam, one of Solomon's servants, and the remaining part (Judah) staying with Solomon's lineage.

(1 Kings 11:9–13)
