According to traditional Christian theology, original sin is the inherited condition of sinfulness that every person is born with as a result of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. This means that all of Adam's descendants (i.e. all humanity) share in the guilt and consequences of the first sin, and are in need of redemption through Christ. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

"Original Sin" Began with the First Sin Committed by Adam
