The correct answer is A) The Renaissance gave rise to the protestant reforming and reduced the power of the Catholic Church.
The statement that most accurately describes the consequences of the Renaissance in Europe is "The Renaissance gave rise to the protestant reforming and reduced the power of the Catholic church."
The Protestant Reformation initiated by Martin Luther challenged the political power Catholic Church had in that time. The Pope and the Roman Catholic Church exerted a total dominion and control of people's belief systems and Reformators considered that that dominion had generated corruptive practices inside the Church. Reformation followed ideas of the Renaissance and many branches were formed such as the Anglicans, the Methodists, Calvinists, Baptists, and Lutherans.

The idea of the social contract theory comes from Jean Jacques Rousseau's book the Social Contract but one of the most prominent philosophers that discussed the idea was Thomas Hobbes who describes social contract as a contract between the individuals and the government, whose authority comes from the people. The people would cede some of their rights to the government for protection and the sovereign is bound by the wishes of the people as it is they that govern his decisions.
So the question of John Stuart Mill relate to the theory of the social contract very much. The main issue is exactly how many rights would the people have to cede and what would be the right balance between the independence and the obedience to the social contract. That is a very thin and tricky line to navigate.
