Solution
The correct option is C Counter Reformation The direct consequence of the Reformation was Counter Reformation in 1545. It was the Church’s reaction to Luther’s Protestantism. The popularity of the Reformation motivated the Church to take measures to weed out corruption. The reforms started during the initial stages of the Protestant Movement but the efforts only took shape in the 16th and 17th centuries. The movement aimed to incorporate training to qualify for priesthood and to take steps to prevent the members of the Church from leading luxurious lives as it was against their vows.
