All of the following were effects of reformation efforts except:

a. there was a renewed interest in education.

b. marriages became public affairs, giving women more rights.

c. convents were no longer open to protestant women.

d. the catholic church started selling indulgences.

The efforts of the reform were directed against the sinful philosophy taken by the Catholic Church. One of those sinful philosophies was the give away of indulgences. An indulgence was a way to reduce the amount of punishment one has to undergo for sins in exchange for an amount of money. From all the aforementioned the start of selling indulgences was not an effect of Reformation.
