The fading spirit of the crusades was reflamed in Europe.

Aristocracy was reinforced by these vastly supported demands.

These demands weaponized the bourgeoisie against its opponents.

Yanıt Açıklaması:

The fact that the church tried to centralize and protect its status quo led to the questioning of the Catholic universalism represented by the Roman Church. This religious universality would be dissolved with Renaissance and Reformation. The technological development that laid the groundwork for this new social formation was that the printing technology had been renewed. At such a time, Martin Luther lit the fuse of the Reformation movement. On October 31, 1517, he posted The Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the church of Wittenberg Palace. These theses had social and political demands as much as theological ones. These demands had three main consequences.

1. Catholic world was divided

2. The churches were brought under the control of the states.

3. The bourgeoisie used these these demands as a weapon against its opponents such as aristocracy and the Roman Catholic Church. 

Therefore, the correct option is D.
