Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A and C.

Let us analyze the statements one by one to understand why this option is correct:

Statement A: John Dryden wrote Religio Laici. (True)
John Dryden, one of the most prominent English poets and playwrights of the Restoration period, wrote the poem Religio Laici. It is a major didactic poem that examines his religious beliefs.

Statement B: Religio Laici strongly criticized the Anglican Church. (False)
Rather than criticizing the Anglican Church, Religio Laici is a defense of the Church of England (Anglicanism). In the poem, Dryden defends the middle way of the Anglican Church against the extremes of Deism on one hand and Roman Catholicism on the other.

Statement C: Religio Laici means ‘A Layman’s Faith’ (True)
The Latin title Religio Laici translates directly to "A Layman's Faith" or "The Religion of a Layman," reflecting Dryden's perspective as a layperson discussing theology.

Statement D: Religio Laici was published in 1690. (False)
The poem was published in 1682, not 1690.

Statement E: Religio Laici was a philosophico-religious prose treatise. (False)
Although it is a philosophical and religious work, Religio Laici is written in verse (specifically, heroic couplets), not prose.

Therefore, only statements A and C are correct, making A and C the right choice.
