A
Martin Luther
B
King Henry VII (Henry Tudor)
C
John Calvin
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, Henry formally broke with the Pope and the Roman Church after Pope Clement VII refused to grant him an annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon so that he could wed Anne.

Detailed explanation-2: -Accordingly, he arranged a papal dispensation from Pope Julius II for Prince Henry to marry his brother’s widow Catherine, a relationship that would have otherwise precluded marriage in the Church. Elizabeth had died in childbirth, so Henry had the dispensation also permit him to marry Catherine himself.

Detailed explanation-3: -The greatest leaders of the Reformation undoubtedly were Martin Luther and John Calvin. Martin Luther precipitated the Reformation with his critiques of both the practices and the theology of the Roman Catholic Church.
