The correct answer is A. Ex nihilo stories explain the creation of Earth from nothingness, while earth diver stories explain the creation of Earth from water.

Explanation:

A creation myth refers to a narrative that is usually linked to cultural elements and aim at explaining the way the world was created, including different elements on it such as animals, plants or humans. Additionally, there are different types of creation myths narratives according to their features and content. In the case of ex nihilo stories or myths, the Earth and everything on it is created from nothingness usually as the result of the actions or thoughts of a god or divine being, which means before the creation of these elements there was just nothingness. On the other hand, in Earth diver myths or narratives different elements are created from water especially as a divine force sends an animal or similar to find sand or mud which is used to create land. Considering this, it can be concluded the difference between ex nihilo and earth diver stories is that " Ex nihilo stories explain the creation of Earth from nothingness, while earth diver stories explain the creation of Earth from water".
