The correct answer is A. Doing good deeds is not a means to salvation.

Martin Luther and John Calvin did not believe that salvation came from good deeds. They thought according to the Bible says in the book of Romans that salvation is by grace and through faith but good deeds are just part of a behavior of a person who is already saved.
