C. Practices that served to increase the power of the clergymen.

Explanation:

The New England Way was a method of examination for knowing the spiritual beliefs to choose church ministers or church members.

This gave them the power to collect taxes, make amendments, hire or fire ministers.

The New England Way was limited to the test procedures which was discarded later by the New England Congregationalists.
