Solution
The correct option is C The Peace of Augsburg The Peace of Augsburg helped negotiate a settlement which allowed princes and the heads of state under the Holy Roman Empire to freely adopt either Protestantism or Roman Catholicism. Most of the northern states in Germany opted for Protestantism and the most of the southern states opted for Roman Catholicism. The religion chosen by the state was made mandatory for the subjects.
