Stanton · Answer 1

It would allow them to expand their lands.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, we learn that European princes supported the idea of another Christian church because they knew this had financial benefits. Out of these options, the only one that touches on finances is the idea of expanding their lands. Moreover, the fact that church property was going to be seized meant that the land the church previously owned was going to pass to the hands of the princes.
