Explanation:

Deism emerged in the context of the scientific revolution. The Newtonian world - machine concept, with its view of the universe as a well - ordered, mechanical system operating by natural laws, influenced deism. Deists saw God as the creator of this orderly universe that then operated independently according to these laws. Relativism is about the relativity of truth and values, conformity is about aligning with group norms, and the Copernican principle is about the Earth not being in a privileged position in the universe, none of which are foundational to deism.

Answer:

D. Newtonian world machine
