The correct answer is D) diocese.

The jurisdiction of a Christian bishop was called a diocese.

In simpler terms, in Judeo-Christian terminology, a diocese is the district overseen by a bishop. The term originated in Rome around 313 when the territory was divided into provinces. This way the church could have better administrative control of these areas was to the creation of many dioceses in those provinces.
