The correct response is:

**People became less reliant on the church.**

The Renaissance encouraged individual inquiry and critical thinking, leading to a questioning of traditional authorities, including the church. The Protestant Reformation further contributed to this by challenging the church's authority and promoting personal interpretation of the scriptures, which helped pave the way for scientific inquiry and a more secular approach to understanding the natural world.
