Solution

The correct option is A Erasmus

The Praise of Folly was written by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, a classical scholar and one of the foremost members of the "humanist" movement of the 16th century. Erasmus widely criticised the Roman Catholic Church of his day but remained a member and often debated with early Protestant Reformers.
