the changing of all the rivers into blood
B)
the influx of frogs into the land of Egypt
C)
the invasion of flies
D)
the covering of the land of Egypt with water

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

In the Bible, there is a story about how the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians. God sent Moses to ask the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, but the Pharaoh refused. As a result, God sent ten plagues to Egypt to convince the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. The question is asking about the last plague that was inflicted on the Egyptians.

Option A says the last plague was the changing of all the rivers into blood. Option B says it was the influx of frogs into the land of Egypt. Option C says it was the invasion of flies. Option D says it was the covering of the land of Egypt with water. Option E, which is the correct answer, says it was the death of all the firstborn of the Egyptians.

During the last plague, God sent an angel to kill all the firstborn sons of the Egyptians. However, the Israelites were instructed to mark their doors with lamb's blood, and the angel "passed over" their houses and did not harm their firstborn sons. This event is known as the Passover, and it is celebrated by Jews to this day.

In summary, the correct answer to the question is Option E, the death of all the firstborn of the Egyptians. This event is a significant part of the Passover story in the Bible.
