was a forgiveness of earthly punishment for sins, but not of punishments in the afterlife- this is not true, it was a forgiveness of punishment both on earth and in the afterlife!

was the most severe punishment Church authorities could inflict in the inquisition - false, indulgence was something desired, not feared.


was a position in a church offered in exchange for money-false, it was not a position, but a forgiveness (thought it was offered for money)


was a guarantee to a guild that they had the exclusive right to produce-false again, this had nothing to do with it


So, for the reasons I mentioned, all the answered are wrong... The best answer is the first one, as it's the most relevant, but it's still factually wrong...
