Solution

The correct option is B King Philip II
The Reformation led to many religious wars among the European countries. King Philip II, the King of Spain, was a staunch Catholic. He was determined to capture England and bring an end to Protestantism. He was opposed to the ideas of Queen Elizabeth and sent a fleet of ships called the Invincible Armada to attack England in 1588 AD. But he failed to defeat England.
