Answer:

C. John Wycliffe called for change in the church during the 1300's.

Step-by-step explanation:

He was known for opposing the Catholic Church and attacking monasticism for translating the bible. John Wycliffe deemed papacy and all supporters of the sect as he felt they were enemies of religion and promoters of crime.

He was active in groups that opposed the church's teachings and advocated for the extinction of the entire Catholic Church and associated monasteries. Other noted work of his in this fight was the translation of the Bible from vernacular English to ordinary language for all the people to be able to read the scripture.
