Analysis:
a. Correct. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' (LDS's) official list of key doctrines, the Articles of Faith, teaches belief in God, the eternal Father; in Jesus Christ, God's son; and in the Holy Spirit. But LDS teaches that these three are distinct divine beings rather than united in a single deity, as in mainstream Christian teaching.
b, c & d. Incorrect. Many teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint are similar to Protestant ones, but its distinctive doctrines make it a new religious movement in its beliefs as well as its organization.
