Answer:

Correct answer is He wanted to get divorced from his wife

Step-by-step explanation:

The conflict between Henry VIII and Pope erupted when Henry wanted to divorce himself from Catherine of Aragon with whom he could not have son and heir.

But, as the Church wasn't allowing him to divorce he decided to cut ties with it and eventually church of England was formed.

All other options haven't led to conflict.

Answer: He didn't want to pay taxes to the Pope anymore.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry VIII. decided to use the Reformation to separate himself from the Vatican and the Pope. In this way, he subjected the Church of England to the state. Henry VII thus avoided paying taxes to the Pope and therefore kept the money in England. Thus, for the first time since the existence of the Catholic Church, the influence of that institution was reduced in Europe.
