The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the excerpt from Martin Luther's "95 Theses." So we do not know what is the specific section or the content to evaluate.

However, despite you forgot this important excerpt, we can comment on the following.

When German fray Martin Luther wrote "95 Theses," he criticized the Catholic Church practices. His critics caused the schism between the Roman Catholic and Protestant branches of Christianity. He specifically criticized practices of the Roman Catholic Church such as the selling of indulgences and the fact that the Catholic clergy had many offices and responsibilities.

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German Theologian that was the most important figure in the Protestant Reformation of the Church. His ideas changed Christianity and led to the separation of the Catholic Church. Luther questioned the main principles of Catholicism. He wrote the document called "95 Thesis" or "Disputation on the Power of Indulgencies," where he critiques the selling of plenary indulgences to forgive sins.
