A
Mary was deposed by the people in a bloody coup d’etat
B
Mary executed people who would not return to Catholicism
C
Mary had hemophelia, causing her to bleed extremely easily
D
She was drawn and quartered
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -She was the first-ever Queen of England to rule in her own right, but to her critics, Mary I of England has long been known only as “Bloody Mary.” This unfortunate nickname was thanks to her persecution of Protestant heretics, whom she burned at the stake in the hundreds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mary did deserve the nickname because… she killed a lot of people/her method of burning people was horrific/she took England into a war/she executed Lady Jane Grey, her husband and supporters.

Detailed explanation-3: -She was succeeded by Elizabeth. Philip, who was in Brussels, wrote to his sister Joan: “I felt a reasonable regret for her death.” Although Mary’s will stated that she wished to be buried next to her mother, she was interred in Westminster Abbey on 14 December, in a tomb she eventually shared with Elizabeth.
