• C. Dislike for other religions
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Dislike for other religions

The Reformation divided the church into Protestantism and Catholicism. Those who led the revolt against the church were called Protestants because they protested against the practices prevalent in the church. Those who remained loyal to the traditional church were on the side of the Pope. They were called Roman Catholics. The Catholics and Protestants fought many wars.
