Should be the other way around. "the 1605 Gunpowder plot was a conspiracy"
B) The 1605 Gunpowder plot,a conspiracy to replace the Protestant English King James I with a Catholic monarch, Robert Catesby, a religious zealot who had become so frustrated with the King’s treatment of the English Catholics that he masterminded the plot.
No verb is the sentence
C) Robert Catesby was a religious zealot who had become so frustrated with the Protestant English King James I’s treatment of the English Catholics that he masterminded the 1605 Gunpowder plot, a conspiracy to replace the King with a Catholic monarch.
Everything is correct in this option. To be honest, I didn't get the meaning after reading the first option. This option helped me to eliminate others very quickly.
D) Robert Catesby,a religious zealot, who by becoming so frustrated with the Protestant English King James I’s treatment of the English Catholics masterminded the 1605 Gunpowder plot, which was a conspiracy to replace the King with a Catholic monarch.
No verb again
Note: "Robert Catesby, a religious zealot, who by becoming..." construction is correct
"a religious zealot" is acting like appositive
"who by becoming" is correctly modifying "Robert Caterby".
