Answer:

with toleration of Huguenots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French Wars of Religion was a period of political turbulence and war between the Catholics and Huguenots (or Protestants). The ruler of France, Catherine de Médicis, consented to show tolerance for Huguenots, which was resented by powerful Catholic families. The war of religion took place between two factions, that is, the House of Bourbon and the House of Guise.

The House of Bourbon supported Protestanism and the House of Guise favoured Catholicism. Both the factions were supported by foreign resources.

The outcome of this prolonged Wars of Religion (1562–1598) came to rest with political unity with toleration of Huguenots. The war ended when the Edict of Nantes was issued which gave Catholicism the place of state religion of France and equal standing of Protestants with Catholics.

Therefore, the correct answer is that war ended with the toleration of Huguenots.
