A Correct answer
Explanation

After the fall of the Roman empire in the fifth century, the Church appeared as the new dominant power of Europe. Like the Romans, they had their capital in Rome and they had their own emperor – the Pope. In the Middle Ages, almost everyone believed strictly in the doctrine of the Church, which meant they believed they were either going to heaven or hell when they died. The Medieval Church inherited and taught the doctrine of original sin, the belief that all human beings share in collective guilt as a result of the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the Fall of Humankind, together with an ongoing predisposition to disobey God. Mortal, or ‘deadly', sins were wrong acts committed consciously and deliberately. They, therefore, placed the soul in serious danger and the Church taught that, in normal circumstances, they could only be forgiven through the sacrament of penance and by confession to a priest. It was said that people who die with mortal sins in their hearts are condemned to hell for all eternity. Put another way, people who hide from God’s mercy and refuse communion with him are “left” alone for all eternity. Hence, Option A is correct. Among the rest, reincarnation was attributed only to the son of God, Jesus Christ, and no other mortals. Hence, these are incorrect.
