The correct answer is letter C

Explanation: Pope Leo III left behind the condemnation of adoptionism, a theological view of early Christianity that claims that Jesus was born human and only became the son of God at his baptism. His pontificate came to an end on June 12, 816, when he died at the age of 66 and after 21 at the head of the Catholic Church. It is considered holy. His successor was Pope Stephen IV.

Answer:

C.) a widening gulf between Latin Christianity and Greek Christianity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iconoclasm is the fight against the worship of images by the Christianism. In the 8th and 9th centuries, Pope Leo III fought against this characteristic that was common in the Byzantine Empire - the Orthodox Church, but this fight ended creating a huge difference between a Latin West and a Greek East, and separating these two cultures.
