Answer:

People undertook pilgrimages in the Middle Ages because there was the belief by religious bodies about having prayers more likely answered when the prayer takes place at the pilgrim destination and that there was a higher chance of making heaven for going to such places.

Popular pilgrim sites are Rome, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Mecca etc

Answer: b - St. Peter and St. Paul

Explanation:

St. Peter and St. Paul were the first martyrs, who died at the hands of the Roman emperor Nero. They promoted Christianity in Rome and were killed because of it. In the following centuries, persecution of Christians continued and the most fierce fairies during the Diocletian.

The constant abuse of Christians characterized the earliest period of Christianity in Rome. Only under Emperor Constantine, did the persecution of Christians stop. With the Edict of Milan (Italy) in 313, the emperor allowed freedom of religion, so that Christianity would expand significantly in the coming period. In 387, Christianity became the state religion in ancient Rome.
