Answer 1

The Reformation primarily led to **the division of Christianity into Catholic and Protestant faiths**. This significant religious movement resulted in the establishment of various Protestant denominations and fundamentally changed the landscape of Christianity in Europe. Other consequences included various religious reformers escaping persecution and the presence of differing religious practices and beliefs, but the most notable and lasting impact was the fragmentation of Western Christianity itself into multiple traditions.

Although some European monarchs did convert to Protestantism, it was not the case for most; thus, that response is less accurate as a broad consequence. Additionally, while the Reformation did lead to some efforts for standardized religious writings, this was part of a larger context of religious changes rather than a direct outcome of the Reformation alone.
