German original (as asked in the real test)

Translation
People in Germany live according to the principle of religious tolerance. What does that mean?
- A Mosques are not allowed to be built.
- B All people believe in God.
- C Everyone can believe what they want. ✓ Correct answer
- D The state decides which God people believe in.
Explanation
Article 4 of the Basic Law protects freedom of faith and conscience, so people can believe whatever they choose, change religion, or believe in nothing, while the state stays neutral. Forcing belief, banning mosques, or letting the state pick a religion all contradict that neutrality.
Tips
- Article 4 guarantees personal choice in belief, that is the core of religious tolerance.
- Any answer where the state or a rule forces or bans a belief is wrong.
