The correct option is B

The term Huguenots (Huguenot, in French) is the old name given to French Protestants of Calvinist doctrine during the wars of religion. From the seventeenth century, the Huguenots would often be called Religionnaires, since royal decrees (and other official documents) called Protestantism contemptuously "purportedly reformed religion."
