A. he encouraged Catholics to question a number of practices
of the church including the sale of indulgences.
Explanation:
Martin Luther is the father of Protestant Reformation. He was a Catholic priest and a seminar theologian in Wittenberg, Germany. In the 1510s, he went to Rome and came back shocked by the sale of indulgences and papal bulls for the forgiveness of sins. He couldn´t agree with those acts aimed at enlarging the chests of the Church. After a long reflection, he openly questioned them and the authority of the Vatican. He said that Christians could win God´s grace by faith only, not through buying indulgences, and that the Bible was the ultimate authority in religious matters. The furious reaction of the Vatican was to excommunicate him given his refusal to retract.
Answer:
No, I do not think it was necessary.
Explanation:
The Sedition act was uncharacteristic of the initial thoughts of the forefathers of the United States because it went against the freedom of speech and freedom of press. Although it seemed to be a quick fix to stop dissention in the U.S. with anti war sentiment, it also invalidated the very constitution for which the U.S stood on. There could have been better ways to handle it such as educating the public better on what exactly was happening, and why we might as a country needed to become involved in the war.

Explanation:
I don't see any answers in the list that are fully correct.
Henry IV did not create the Estates General. That institution had developed already in medieval France, fell out of use, but then was revived during the latter half of the 16th century, a couple decades before Henry IV came to the throne.
Henry IV did not oppress the French people but sought to build roads and improve agriculture for the betterment of France and to build the loyalty of the people to his rule.
He did overthrow the previous ruler (Henry III), but not in "totalitarian fashion." After winning the "War of the Three Henrys" in order to become king, Henry sought to bring France to peace after religious warfare. He had been Protestant but converted to Catholicism for the sake of national peace, while at the same time extending legal protections to the Protestant minority.
Under Henry IV's rule, the central government did not control "almost every aspect of life." He worked hard to consolidate and centralize power for his government, but he was not yet what we would call an "absolute" ruler.
The correct answer is High-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs
Whereas many businesses stalled and had to fire people, these were mostly people that were easily replaced for someone who could work for a smaller salary. High tech sector employees are usually too much of a benefit to the company to be laid off so their job security was high since nobody could replace them.
