The correct answer is C. Blasphemy is a criminal offence in England and covers cases where offensive descriptions of Christianity are published.
Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt for God or sacred things. It is a crime in many countries, including England. In England, blasphemy is defined as “the publication of any blasphemous matter with intent to outrage religious feelings.” This includes any material that is offensive to Christianity or any other religion.
Blasphemy is a controversial issue, and there is debate about whether it should be a crime. Some people argue that blasphemy is a form of hate speech and should be prohibited. Others argue that it is a form of free speech and should be protected.
In England, the law on blasphemy has been changed in recent years. In 2008, the House of Lords ruled that the law was outdated and should be repealed. However, the law has not yet been repealed, and it is still possible to be prosecuted for blasphemy in England.
