You are correct in selecting options a and b.

a. Catholics could rise to the kingdom of heaven by faithfully following the seven sacraments: This is an accurate statement about the theology of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. The Catholic Church taught that the seven sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick) were necessary for salvation and that faithful observance of these sacraments could lead individuals to attain eternal life in heaven.

b. The price of sin was penance, through which sinners repented and atoned for their misdeeds: This is also an accurate statement about the theology of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. The Church taught that sinners needed to repent and make amends for their sins through acts of penance, such as prayer, fasting, and charitable works. It was believed that this would help cleanse their souls and ensure forgiveness from God.

c. Catholic scriptures promoted jihad, which is the internal and external struggle against sin: This statement is incorrect. The term jihad is not a part of Catholic theology; it is associated with Islamic teachings and refers to the struggle or effort in various aspects of life, including but not limited to fighting against injustice or struggling with personal spiritual development.

d. Kosher dietary laws determined what foods Catholics could and could not eat: This statement is also incorrect. Kosher dietary laws are associated with Jewish dietary practices, not Catholicism. The Catholic Church has its own dietary practices, particularly during the season of Lent, but they are not determined by kosher laws.
