Answer:

Correct answer is Some Catholic leaders used power to corrupt practices and create wealth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Church grew so strong and corrupt that even some people in the church believed that the church lost its course. Therefore Luther and people who believed in similar ideas started reforming the church, that eventually led to creation of Protestantism.

First option is not correct because this was not their initial idea.

Second option is not correct as people were not satisfied with how the Church functioned, not with their religion.

Henry VII divorced his wife and started a new Anglican church, but after the Protestantism already has spread across Europe.
