Wait, the selected option in the image is "pope leo x" which is incorrect. The correct answer is Martin Luther.

Answer:

The correct answer is the option corresponding to "Martin Luther" (assuming a typo in the option labels; if we take the options as given, the correct historical figure is Martin Luther, and the option with his name - likely the first or third option with a typo - is the answer.
