Beyond the immediate narrative of divine judgment, what theological purpose does the detailed genealogy in Genesis 5 serve, connecting Adam to Noah?

A To establish the lineage through which God would continue His covenant and promises. B To emphasize the pervasive nature of sin and its consequences, demonstrating the gradual decline in human lifespan as a result of the fall (Genesis 3). C To provide a comprehensive record of property inheritance rights and land ownership among the early descendants of Adam. D To highlight the importance of maintaining accurate records for taxation and census purposes in pre-flood society.
