Answer
A
German princes and the Holy Roman Emperor.
B
German princes and peasants who had revolted.
C
Martin Luther and the Holy Roman Emperor.

Martin Luther and the Roman Catholic Church.

Explanation

The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, settled religious conflict within the Holy Roman Empire by allowing each ruler to choose Catholicism or Lutheranism for their territory. It ended the conflict between the German princes and the Holy Roman Emperor, not the earlier peasant revolts or Luther’s dispute with the Catholic Church.
