Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 is a legal measure related to the right of individuals. Its key provision is that it prevents arbitrary detention by requiring that a person cannot be held in custody without being brought before a court to determine the lawfulness of their detention, i.e., people could no longer be held without trial. Being arrested is still legal under due process, serving in the army is a different matter unrelated to this act, and baptism in churches is a religious practice not related to this legal act.

Answer:

A. held without trial.
