Answer 1

Answer: (3) Protestant Reformation

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Luther was a monk who had become fed up by the Roman Catholic Church's lies and indulgences and so in the year 1517 released his Ninety-five Theses. In these, he criticized the Church for behavior such as saying that God would not punish people for sins if they paid a certain amount of money.

Martin Luther's ideas were so popular that they made him a very popular figure and people desired a split from the Catholic Church. Those who eventually split became known as the Protestants in the process called the Protestant Reformation.
