The critical new factor in the hebrews' new religious vision was that a) there was only one god. b) religion was influenced by nature. c) religion should not be led by kings. d) there was a god above all other gods.

Best  A) there was only one God

Explanation:

Answer D also has a ring of truth to it, that "there is a God above all other gods."   But other world religions, which developed ideas of multiple gods or deities, often envisioned one of the gods within such pantheons as the highest of the gods.

The unique factor in the religion of the Hebrews was monotheism, the conviction that there is only one true Deity.  The first commandment of the Law (Torah) as given by God to the Hebrew people stated, "I am the LORD your God ... You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:2-3).  That didn't mean go ahead and believe in other gods but keep the LORD God (Yahweh) at the top.  Elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible, the Hebrew people confess:  "All the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens" (1 Chronicles 16:26, Psalm 96:5).  And through the prophet Isaiah, the LORD God told the people:  "I am the Lord, and there is no other;  apart from me there is no God. ... Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,  who pray to gods that cannot save" (Isaiah 45:5,20)

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
