Concept: Disobedience to God’s direct command brought divine judgment, and the clearest punishment was removal from the Garden of Eden.
Explanation:God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and gave them one clear restriction.
They were not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
When they ate the forbidden fruit, they realised their nakedness and hid from God.
God pronounced several consequences for their sin.
The serpent was cursed, the woman would experience pain in childbirth, and the man would struggle with a cursed ground.
Mortality also entered the human race, for man was to return to dust.
The final act of judgment was to drive them out of the garden so they could no longer reach the tree of life.
This expulsion from Eden is the punishment that the question asks about.
The other options do not match the biblical account accurately.
Option D wrongly extends the enmity with the serpent to all crawling animals.
Answer:A. They were driven out of the garden.
