Answer:

C. It was using indulgences for financial benefits.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is believed that the main reason Martin Luther criticize the Roman Catholic Church is that the Roman Catholic Church was "using indulgences for financial benefits."

The above statement is true when Martin Luther, on October 31st, 1517, released articles titled "95 theses," which criticizes explicitly the actions of the Roman Catholic Church who were found promising remission from punishments for sin committed by people, either dead and or alive and continue to sin. The actions of the Roman Catholic Church were regarded as 'indulgences.'

Martin Luther accused the Roman Catholic Church of selling indulgences
