Solution

The correct option is B Johann Tetzel
In 1517, Pope Leo X appointed a preacher named Johann Tetzel to distribute “Letters of Indulgence” in Wittenberg. Martin Luther was shocked to see the Pope and the clergy exploiting people’s faith for money. Luther believed that if a person repented and put their faith in God, they would be forgiven.
