The correct answer is - A. The Roman Inquisition was a court of the Catholic Church that prosecuted crimes of heresy.

The Roman Inquisition was taking place from the mid 16th century. It was under the guidance of the Catholic church. The Catholic church, in this period of time was very frustrated, and that was because it was losing its power and credibility. In desperate attempt to stop this process, the Catholic church went extreme, and it started persecuting, murdering, destroying, the people that they considered as a threat to its power, and that resulted in the death of thousands of people in Europe.
