A
The sale of indulgences
💡 Explanation:
The sale of indulgences, which were certificates that promised to reduce a person's time in purgatory, was a major factor in the start of the Reformation. Martin Luther, a German monk, protested the sale of indulgences, and his Ninety-Five Theses sparked a widespread debate about the Catholic Church.
