C. European religious minorities were persecuted in large numbers.

Explanation:

The Protestant Reformation was a religious revolution that took place in the sixteenth century, when leaders like Martin Luther and John Calvin began to question actions from the Roman Catholic Church; during this process European religious minorities such as Anabaptists, Mennonites and Hutterites were persecuted as an effort to shut down ideas that were different from those of the Roman Catholic Church, religious minorities were seen as heretics, this movement is known as Anti-Protestantism.
