Well, it's a little combination of answers: B & D.
All around, I would say D, since B is part of the Bible, but in the "story of a people and their God", Jesus (God) shows us the rules.
C is a little representative too, though:
C isn't COMPLETELY true, though, because the OT stuff like Adam & Eve (though it might've happened) really just reps the way of creation: God created us, told us what not to do, humans did it anyways. Other stuff though IS 100% accurate... I.E. "A child will be born of a Virgin"... you know that speech. I would NOT say C, though b/c MUCH of the OT is meant as representation of what is to come. You just have to work your way through it, study it, and realize what it truly means.
Great Question!
Makes you think.
God Bless.

E) Its the Word of God. Not a set of rules and it doesnt help you get in to heaven Honestly.If you admit your a sinner.believe Jesus was rose from the dead and confess your sins and choose to do Gods will and obey his commands and thats how you get to heaven.Theres not one place in the Bible it says read me and go to Heaven. I dont know what in the world people think these days. God led some of the writers of the Bible when they were writing.It was NOT something they just thought up out of nowhere.Does anyone respect the word of the Lord anymore?
Its a complete true book.theres not a single lie or anything of that sort in it. what do you believe is what i wonder?

B,C and D... it would account for many simillar tales in many religious systems. But I do accept it as the Whole Word of the God who Created us ALL.
Of course I do know Satan has a better publicist, and has done much to obscure the true name of God, as such I have faith that he as creator can preserve it in a manner that those who earnestly seek him out can find his name, and through it the Truth of God.
(IE: Yahweh or Jehovah) look at the Translation notes on a term called the Tetragrammaton (usually located in the preface), and you will find the Hebrew/English word usually rendered LORD is YHWH/JHVH

D. As a book that tells the story of a people and their God?
I would add that it is current. The people who are God's people will find it doesn't need updating.

E. It is a combination of B,C, and D. The Bible is a set of rules for us to live by. It is 100% true and can accuratly tell us part of man's history, and the Bible tells us about God and His people.

It's a book meant to guide you in the right direction, morally. It's not a history book, or a science book, the Bible was written to help people with their lives and help them get to heaven.
