Which statement best describes the Roman Inquisition?

Answer
A
The Roman Inquisition was a long conflict between the princes of the German states and the Holy Roman Emperor.
B
The Roman Inquisition was a gathering of leaders from the Catholic Church who wanted to address Protestantism.
C
The Roman Inquisition was the trial of Martin Luther, who was jailed for speaking out against the Catholic Church.
D
The Roman Inquisition was a court of the Catholic Church that prosecuted crimes of heresy.

Explanation

The Roman Inquisition was a Catholic Church tribunal established to investigate and prosecute people accused of heresy. It was not a conflict between German princes and the emperor, a church meeting, or a single trial of Martin Luther. Therefore, the best description is “a court of the Catholic Church that prosecuted crimes of heresy.”
