Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Acts 8:1         Following Stephen’s death in 35AD, the more radical members of the young church in Jerusalem were persecuted by the staunchly traditional Jewish hierarchy. Most of the Greek-speaking believers were scattered throughout Judaea and Samaria, while the twelve apostles – who were more traditional Hebrew and Aramaic-speaking Jews – were able to remain in Jerusalem.
