Answer:
A) Forgiveness of sins granted by the Pope
Explanation:
Indulgence is part of the Catholic teaching and ritual of forgiving the sins of the believers. It is a “remission before God”, as the Catholic Church explains it.
Those who have sinned should confess to the deed and regret it, after which they receive the indulgence. In order to be fully cleared of the wrongdoings and grant forgiveness, the person should do perform a certain action – do a good deed, repeat a certain prayer, go to a certain place, etc. Indulgence is usually granted only by the pope, but in some cases, the lesser authorities can grant it.
