Explanation:

1 - B: in 1517, after many disagree with the Roman Catholic Church, Martin Luther breaks his relations with catholicism, promoting a reformation. His actions led the Church to counterattack with the Counter-Reformation in 1543 during the Council of Trent. One of the points of this counter-reformation was the spread of catholicism across the globe. The Council of Trent occurred during the European trade expansion and countries such as Portugal and Spain were extremely Catholics, and the spread of this faith was one of their actions during colonization.

2 - C: puritanism is part of the reformation started by Luther in 1517. They believed in a pure Christianity faith. What does that mean? It means that puritans emphasized a rigorous moral code based on the individual's purity and integrity. The community was an important role in puritanism and the church was seen as a safe place against the world. But to be a safe place, the church should be a simple and humble building, without the traditional ornaments found on the catholic churches.

3 - C: Charles II ascended the throne in 1660, after the tensions resulted from the English Civil War and the government of Oliver Cromwell. At the time of his ascension, America was formed by 13 colonies, divided into 3 areas (North, Middle, and the southern colonies). To promote (and control) the trade between these colonies and England, he signed the Mercantilist Navigation Acts, regulating the exportation and the trade between the colonies and England.
