In which deity do both good and evil co-exist?

• A. Angra Mainyu
• B. Vishnu
• C. Ahura Mazda
• D. Shiva

Answer: (C)

In this belief system, reality is shaped by a struggle between two opposing forces: truth and order, represented by the supreme deity, and deception and chaos, represented by an evil spirit. The world is created and sustained by the good deity, where both good and evil exist side by side as part of that cosmic arrangement. So the deity associated with this coexistence of good and evil is the wise lord who upholds order and creation, Ahura Mazda. Angra Mainyu is the evil force opposing him, not a deity that embodies both good and evil within itself. Vishnu and Shiva are Hindu gods with distinct roles and are not the figures central to this particular dualistic framework.
