Answer:

B. The Catholic Church was split by the conflict between two different popes.

Step-by-step explanation:

During this time, both popes claimed power over all Christians. Each excommunicated the other's followers. Christians became confused about which the pope had power and authority. The split greatly weakened the Church.
