Correct Answer:
B. Erasmus
Explanation:
The correct answer is Erasmus. Desiderius Erasmus was a Dutch philosopher and theologian who is widely considered the most influential figure of the Christian Humanism movement during the Northern Renaissance. While Thomas More was a close friend and fellow humanist, Erasmus was the most prominent leader who sought to reform the Catholic Church through education and a return to original scriptural texts. John Lydgate was a poet and John Wycliffe was a pre-Reformation theologian, making Erasmus the primary leading figure requested.
