16. **A. John Calvin.** The concept of predestination, where God has preordained some for salvation and others for damnation, is a central tenet of Calvinism.17. **D. Protestant Reformation.** Martin Luther's critique of indulgences, sparked the Protestant Reformation, a major religious movement challenging the authority of the Catholic Church.18. **C. being too concerned with worldly power and riches.** The criticism of the Church for its focus on worldly matters, including wealth and political influence, was a key factor leading to the Reformation. Indulgences, seen as a corrupt practice for raising money, were a prime example of this concern.
