to get it to raise funds to crush a rebellion
C
to have it name Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector
D
to force it to sign the Petition of Right

Charles I recalled Parliament in 1640 because he needed money to fight a rebellion in Scotland. Parliament had to approve the funds, so he called it back into session. The rebellion was not about appointing Oliver Cromwell, who became Lord Protector much later.
