Adam's wife was named Eve because she

A.

Seduced Adam into eating the frult

B.

Was taken from Adam's rib

C.

Ate the forbidden fruit

D.

Was the mother of the living

Correct answer is B

According to the biblical account in Genesis, Adam named his wife Eve because she was described as "the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20) 

20 The man called his wife’s name Eve,[a] because she was the mother of all living. 

 This naming occurred after the incident with the forbidden fruit but is not directly related to Eve's actions or role in that event. The name "Eve" itself means "life" or "living," and this reflects her significance as the ancestor of all humanity.
