In July 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie (also known as the Young Pretender), landed in Scotland and joined the second Jacobite rebellion. However, the rebellion failed. 

The Stuarts were based in Paris during the second Jacobite rebellion. They got the support of the French King Louis XV. 

The Field of the Cloth of Gold was a lavish diplomatic summit held in 1520 between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France, designed to strengthen their alliance.

Robert Aske led a rebellion against the closure of monasteries by Henry VIII during 1536-1539. Aske entered into negotiations with the Duke of Norfolk and Henry promised to listen to the rebels. The rebels disbanded and in 1537, they were arrested by Norfolk and executed. 
Thus, option B is correct. 

Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in Scotland in July 1745 to join the second Jacobite rebellion. He made his way to Glenfinnan and called for the Scots to support his rebellion. He gained support from some Scottish clans and soon had an army of about 4000 men.

Option A - Pope Clement denied an annulment mainly because Catherine's nephew, Emperor Charles V of Spain, had laid siege to Rome and essentially was holding the Pope as prisoner. Thus, the Pope wanted to use Catherine's powerful relationship with the King of Spain to get out of England out trouble.
Thus, option A is CORRECT.
Option B is INCORRECT because Catherine was not related to the King of France.
Option C is INCORRECT because Catherine was not related to the King of Germany.
Option D is INCORRECT because Catherine was not related to the King of Austria. 

Option A - After the Pope refused to grant him a divorce to Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII appointed Thomas Cranmer as Archbishop of Canterbury, who annulled Henry’s marriage to Catherine.
Option B - After the Pope refused to grant him a divorce to Catherine of Aragon, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church by naming himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England, thereby rejecting the Pope's authority.
Option C - After failing to negotiate an annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Wolsey fell out of favour and was stripped of his government titles. He retreated to York to fulfill his ecclesiastical duties as Archbishop of York, a position he nominally held, but had neglected during his years in government.
All of the above were reactions of Henry when he was denied divorce to Catherine and so option D is CORRECT.

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was the most powerful advisor to Henry VIII during the first half of his reign, serving as Lord Chancellor and managing much of the government.

Henry VIII appointed Thomas Cranmer as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Cranmer granted Henry a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. This allowed Henry to marry Anne Boleyn in 1533. 
Thus, option C is correct. 

Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries during 1536-1539 and the wealth of the monasteries went to the King's treasury.
Thus, option A is correct.
