It is divided into two sections the Old Testament, which contains 39 books, and the New Testament, which contains 27 books. Together, these two sections make up a total of 66 books in the Bible. Option A is incorrect because it is too low of a number. Option B is incorrect because it is only the number of books in the Old Testament. Option D is incorrect because it is too high of a number. Option C is the only option that accurately reflects the number of books in the Bible.
