Answer:

-the destruction of religious images and icons

Step-by-step explanation:

Iconoclast is the name given to the member of the movement of protest against the veneration of religious icons that emerged in the eighth century called Iconoclastia. The term iconoclastic literally means “image breaker” and has its origin in the Greek eikon (icon or image) and klastein (break).

The term ''iconoclasm'' is used to describe the Protestant's action towards religion during 15th and 16th century, when they destroyed all the religious tools, so the answer  should be the destruction of religious images and icons. I'm sure you fill find it interesting.
