Correct answer choice is :


B) He married Anne Boleyn in defiance of the Pope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike Luther who wished to begin change within the Catholic church, Henry split his relations with the Roman Catholic Church for purposes that were both personal and political. Henry wanted to cut with the church from his desire to marry Anne Boleyn because his wedding with Catherine of Aragon had started to be boring.
