Answer:

The correct answer is C. a French scholar who turned the city of Geneva into a center of Protestantism

Explanation:

Calvin was Guillermo Farel's main collaborator in the task of continuing in the reform, and Farel managed to influence the expulsion of Geneva from the Church of Rome. Calvin then established in Geneva as a reader of Holy Scripture in the church of St. Peter

In November 1536 Calvin presented a Confession of Faith of 21 articles that the people should accept under oath. In mid-January 1537 he presented another document requesting four basic reforms for the Geneva Church:

  1. Let no one participate in the sacrament if it is not with true piety and genuine reverence.
  2. Let the laws concerning marriage be modified.
  3. That the children were catechized by their parents, and that at certain times of the year they appeared before the shepherds to make sure that they really learned the Word of God.
  4. May the people participate in worship services singing psalms.
