Explanation
Answer: A - Martin Luther wrote the Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgence as a commentary of the corruption of the Catholic Church. Initially, it was written as a scholarly objection to the indulgences being sold by the Church.

The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgence served as the catalyst that propelled the dissatisfied congregations to reform their religion.
