Explanation:

The Protestant Reformation is widely considered to have begun when Martin Luther posted the Ninety - Five Theses in 1517, criticizing the Catholic Church's practices like the sale of indulgences. John Knox's work was part of the Scottish Reformation (a later and regional part of the broader Reformation movement), John Calvin's teachings on predestination came after the start of the Reformation, and Henry VIII's break with the Church was more about political and personal (divorce) reasons and also occurred after Luther's actions.

Answer:

A. Martin Luther posting the Ninety - Five Theses.
