a. his desire to be remembered throughout history
b. his desire to defame and degrade the pope
c. his desire to reform the Catholic Church
d. his desire to marry Anne Boleyn

Answer 1

D, because Henry VIII wanted to divorce his first wife because she could not have a male heir and the pope won't let him get the divorce. 

Answer 2

King Henry VIII left the Catholic Church and created the Church of England because of his desire to marry Anne Boleyn. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "d". King Henry VIII wanted to get a divorce from his wife Katherine from Aragon as she could not give the king any heirs. This annulling of marriage was not sanctioned by the Pope of Rome. The Pope controlled the Catholic Church. This resulted in the king creating a new English (Catholic) church by breaking away from the control of the Pope. This was the option King Henry VIII took to get the divorce.
