Correct answer: Mary restored Catholicism as the official religion.
Why: Mary I reversed the Protestant reforms of her father and brother, restored papal authority, persecuted Protestants (the "Marian persecutions"), and married Philip of Spain — all of which angered many Protestants and those who feared foreign (Spanish) influence.
Why the other choices are wrong:
- Mary did not pass the Act of Supremacy; she repealed the Act of Supremacy (which had made the monarch head of the Church) and restored papal supremacy.
- Mary did not support Elizabeth I’s religious policies; Elizabeth later re-established Protestantism after Mary’s death.
- The Spanish Armada was in 1588 under Elizabeth I, not during Mary’s reign.
