Explanation:

The Ottoman Empire had a system called the millet - system. Under this system, Christians and Jews (dhimmi) could practice their faith in separate communities. They had some autonomy in religious and cultural matters while paying a special tax. They were not forced to convert, and both Jews and Christians were allowed to practice to an extent, but not with complete equality to Muslims.

Answer:

C. Christians and Jews could practice their faith in separate communities.
