Answer:

C) certificates sold by the church that reduced or canceled a punishment for a sin.

Explanation:

In an effort to raise money to build churches and monasteries, the Catholic Church would sell indulgences, in which they were certificates that help "pay" for any sin that was committed before, and would be a way for a person to go to heaven.
