Explanation / Answer

4. a. Pope Gregory XII authorized this calendar, in 1582, and the calendar is therefore named in honour of him

b. The calendar was adopted in Italy in 1582. Antonio Lillio was first granted the right to publish these calendars on 3rd April 1582, following a brief from Papal. The Papal brief was later revoked on 20 September 1582, because Antonio Lilio proved unable to keep up with the demand for copies. The day that the gregorian calendar was finally implemented was after 4th October 1582, which was followed by 15th October 1582

5. Since centuries divisible by 4 are no longer leap years, 1600 and 2000 would no longer be leap years

Therefore, the leap years from the list are:
B) 1700
C) 1800
D) 1900
