Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Before God met with Israel at Mount Sinai, Moses charged the people not to go near the mountain. This instruction was given to maintain the sanctity of the place. This event is described in Exodus 19:12-13 (RSV):

"And you shall set bounds for the people round about, saying, ‘Take heed that you do not go up into the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death; no hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.”
