I think it is C. Which (referring to the plural "coolness of judgment and mutability of purpose...") were in fact natural outgrowths (plural) of it.

C IMO.
here, were is pointing to a plural ("coolness... and mutability...") and it refers to "religious zeal". Only C makes the correct cobination.

OA plz
