Answer:
a) the introduction of Germanic traditions into the western church.
Explanation:
The split of the Christian Church into Western Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox, also known as the Great Schism (1054), was the result of years of tensions arising from theological, doctrinal, political and even language differences between them, in which the introduction of German traditions into the western church took no part.
The differences in language (the Western Roman Empire used Latin mainly while the Eastern Empire used Greek) made it difficult for both sides to communicate and understand each other effectively, and eventually, they started to grow more and more suspicious of the other and have different approaches on the doctrine. Other factors leading to the Great Schism were disagreements revolving around the role of religious images: while many from the Eastern Empire were against of worshiping religious images, the Western people firmly supported using them; and disagreements over the roles of clergy members, for instance, the Western Empire regarded the pope as their spiritual leader and claimed that he had authority over the patriarchs (religious leaders in the East), but the Eastern Empire strongly disagreed with this.

A lawyer by training and a cautious politician by temperament, Jay was one of a group of moderate delegates who resisted independence until all hopes for reconciliation with Britain were gone. In the New York provincial convention in 1777, Jay was the principal author of a state constitution that limited legislative domination of government far more effectively than the charters that had just been written in other states.
