Complete answer:
First queen to rule England in her own right and made quite an impact on the country and her people, earning the nickname 'Bloody Mary'. She restored, to the Church, some of the property taken from it in the previous 2 reigns. During her 5 year of reign, Mary had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions, which led to her denunciation as "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant opponents.
Now let’s see who was first queen of England;

Mary I- England's first female monarch was Mary I who lived between 1516 to 1558 ruled for just 5 years. She was the only Surviving child of Henry VIII and his wife, Catherine of Aragon, Mary took the throne after the reign of her half- brother, Edward-VI. The Tudor family was a devout Catholic, who married Philip II of Spain and gained a nickname by having hundreds of people killed to destroy the Anglican Church. Hence this is correct.

Mary Queen of Hearts- The Queen of Hearts is a fictional character from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll which was published in 1865. Hence this is incorrect.

Maria Theresa-Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina was the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions, ruled from 1740h until her death in the year of 1780. Hence this is incorrect

Elizabeth II- Elizabeth II is queen of the United Kingdom from February 6, 1952, she is the longest reigning monarch in British history. Elizabeth II was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York. Hence this is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)
