In sentences like these where the $verb “$attribute” is used, it is usually paired with the $preposition “to” because the action of attribution is directed towards an object which in this case is “$religious beliefs”.$

Sentence $C is eliminated because it uses the preposition “$for” instead of “$to”.$

Sentence $B is eliminated because the $preposition “$to” should not be used alongside an $–ing form of verb i.e $attributing and becomes grammatically incorrect.$

Hence, the correct answer is option $1.
