The best description of the one's you've provided for the Ottoman Empire would be that

A - known as Süleyman the Magnificent in Europe, this leader was known by his own people as "the lawgiver"
d - Most of the people of the Ottoman Empire were SUnni Muslim

These two are most likely true. For all the other answers it's very questionable whether they are true because we don't know the time period for which you're asking. They could or couldn't be true, with the exception of E.
