Martin Luther's posting of his Theses on the Church Door in Germany is largely seen as the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation.

Germany was soon joined by Protestant forces in Switzerland and France and later in England as Henry VIII led a rejection of the Catholic Church due to its denial of his annulment request.

Answer:

Option: A Martin Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses on a church door.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was Martin Luther who nailed the theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church in Germany which eventually led rise to break Christianity into two groups that came to be known as the Protestant. It started to spread in Germany in the 16th century later moved to Switzerland. It also went to England when Henry VIII declared to break from the Roman Catholic when he was not granted an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Luther started the Reformation because he saw the unrest, corrupt in the Catholic Church.
