What did the Quebec Act allow for Catholics?

Right to vote
Religious freedom and public office holding
Exemption from taxes
Free land

The correct answer is: Religious freedom and public office holding

The Quebec Act, also known as the British North America Act of 1774, allowed for Catholics to have religious freedom and be able to hold public office. This was a significant change as prior to the act, Catholics in Canada were discriminated against and excluded from positions of power due to their religion. Option A, the right to vote, was already in place for Catholics before the Quebec Act was passed. Option C, exemption from taxes, was not mentioned in the Quebec Act and was not a major factor in the act's intentions. Option D, free land, is not mentioned in the Quebec Act and was not a significant issue for Catholics at the time. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, religious freedom and public office holding.
