Which empire in the 1500s was located in Central Europe and controlled by the Hapsburg family on behalf of the Catholic Church
A
The Mughal Empire
B
The Mayan Empire
C
The Holy Roman Empire
D
The German Empire
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Holy Roman Empire was located in western and central Europe and included parts of what is now France, Germany, and Italy.

Detailed explanation-2: -So where do our Habsburgs fit in? Many (but not all) Habsburg lands were also part of the Holy Roman Empire and many (but not all) territories within the Holy Roman Empire were run by the Habsburgs. This situation put the head Habsburg in a pretty strong position when it came to electing a Holy Roman Emperor.

Detailed explanation-3: -What was the Holy Roman Empire? The Holy Roman Empire was a notional realm in central Europe, which lasted for around 1, 000 years, until 1806. Its name, however is rather misleading: the French philosopher Voltaire once decried the realm as “neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire”.
