  1. Anglicans
  2. Anabaptists
  3. Catholics
  4. Calvinists
  5. Lutherans
Explanation

Answer: D - The Peace of Westphalia (1648), at the end of the Thirty Years' War, protected Calvinists. The Peace of Westphalia also protected any Christian worship (that was not the religion of the state) in public, with restrictions, and in private, at the will of the worshipper. The Peace was a comprehensive treaty that covered virtually every political issue of its time. Among the other things established by the agreement, Germany was divided into territories.
