Answer:

C. Christians in Eastern Europe and Asia is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The East- West Schism is also known as the Great Schism of 1054. It was fracture of the communication between the Orthodox Catholic Churches and the Roman Catholic Church due to political and theological differences. The breakup of Roman Empire and the language differences were the two major differences that led to their separation. The language of West was Latin and that of East was Greek, as the number of people who spoke both the languages decreased the communication between the two halves also decreased and the two parts began to have different views about the religious doctrines and rituals, and eventually led to their separation.
