Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

The people asked Rehobo'am to lighten the heavy yoke his father had placed on them, but he ignored the advice of the older men and listened to the young men instead. When he harshly answered the people, they rebelled against him by saying: 1 Kings 12:1-16 (RSV):

“What portion have we in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
To your tents, O Israel!
Look now to your own house, David.”
