• promised silver and land to each person that fought.
• promised land previously owned by jewish people.
• made special armor for knights and gave land.
• promised a spot in heaven and all sins forgiven for those who fought and died.

Explanation:

To determine how Pope Urban rallied people for the First Crusade, we analyze each option:

• The option about promising silver and land is incorrect as the primary religious incentive was more prominent.
• Promising land previously owned by Jewish people is not the main way he rallied people.
• Making special armor and giving land is not accurate for his methods.
• Pope Urban II used religious appeals, promising a spot in Heaven and absolution of sins for those who fought and died in the Crusade, which was a powerful motivator in the religious context of the time.

Answer:

D. Promised a spot in Heaven and all sins forgiven for those who fought and died.
