Answer: Answer C.) “All Protestants and Catholics can worship freely” best describes the Toleration Act of 1690.

Explanation: In the 16th century, diverse religion was completely nonexistent. If a person was in a certain place, they would have no choice but to worship the deity being praised in that location. This happened until 1690, when the Toleration Act was established. This act endowed the ability for freedom of religion, which a few years later became a Bill of Right in the United States Constitution.

Final answer: C is the correct answer.
