One word substitution: a person who does not believe in the existence of God.

  • A. agnostic
  • B. atheist
  • C. theist
  • D. sceptic

Explanation

An atheist denies the existence of God, while an agnostic holds that it cannot be known either way, which is the distinction the question is testing. A theist believes in God, and a sceptic doubts claims in general rather than religious ones specifically. The a prefix meaning without appears in many such words.
