Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

they were French Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who followed the teachings of John Calvin. Prosecuted by the French Catholic government during a violent period, Huguenots fled the country in the 17th century creating Huguenot settlements all over Europe, in the United States and Africa.
