He believed in predestination and that all people were decided by God whether they would enter heaven or hell at conception. He also created the religion Calvinism.

Ok you just copy and pasted that off the internet because I have seen 3 other sites that said the exact thing to the letter...

I would say that the answer is B. I know that Clavin didn't believe that the sale of indulgences and relics was good, he believed that politics and the church should be separated, and he thought that faith through Jesus was the way to gain salvation, but that good works merely were a fruit of that. Therefore B. would be the only possible answer. Hope this helps. :)
