The question focuses on the historical relationship expressed in “What is the sacred text of Zoroastrianism called?”. Its value lies in connecting Avesta with the relevant chronology, institution, patronage, text, region or administrative function.
The Avesta is the primary sacred scripture of Zoroastrianism, the ancient Persian religion founded by the prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster). Avesta fits that evidence because it matches the specific chronology, agency and function contained in the question. A comparison with the alternatives is useful: Torah, Bible and Quran are genuine historical terms or names, but each belongs to a different office, patron, text, region or sequence. The compact memory link is therefore Avesta together with the factual context above, not the isolated option letter.
