Which factors accounted for the fierce resistance to the efforts of Philip II to impose higher taxes and greater Spanish control over the Netherlands? Select all that apply.

-Both Protestants and Catholics feared the destruction of their churches and parishes.
-Protestants believed he was attempting to crush their faith, and also deeply resented the intrusion on their long-held practice of self-government.
-Catholics resisted higher taxes and increased control from Spain because they valued their level of independence.
-Catholics feared new limitations on freedom of religion that would result from greater Spanish control.

I am really confused with this as it is not in my textbook and my teacher never went over it. Can someone please help?
