The most likely idea espoused by the text is that D. European rulers primarily used Christianity as a means to control  their people and to increase their own wealth and influence.

You did not include the passage but this is the most likely answer.

For as long as there has been religion, it has been used by the powerful to control their people and this was the case with European leaders and Christianity.

European leaders used Christianity to increase their power and influence. For instance:

  • Charlemagne got the Church to declare him, "Emperor of the Romans," which gave him more recognition and influence
  • Kings normally referred to the "Divine Right of a King" as the basis for their power because they claimed that they were chosen by God

In conclusion, religion was used by European leaders to increase their influence and by extension, wealth.
