B
only works
C

D
only the Bible
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sola scriptura, meaning by scripture alone, is a Christian theological doctrine held by most Protestant Christian denominations, in particular the Lutheran and Reformed traditions of Protestantism, that posits the Bible as the sole infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice.

Detailed explanation-2: -The five solas state that Christians are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed by Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sola Fide – By Faith Alone; Sola Gratia – By Grace Alone; and Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone. For Martin Luther and many of the reformers, this was a rallying cry which still echoes today.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reformers rejected the authority of the pope as well as many of the principles and practices of Catholicism of that time. The essential tenets of the Reformation are that the Bible is the sole authority for all matters of faith and conduct and that salvation is by God’s grace and by faith in Jesus Christ.
