The correct statement regarding the social influences on the Baroque period is:

**The Protestant Reformation had begun, which caused a split in the Catholic Church because some parts of Europe converted to Protestantism in large numbers.**

This statement accurately reflects the significant impact of the Protestant Reformation on the Baroque period, as it led to changes in religious practices and artistic expression, particularly in regions where Protestantism gained traction. The other statements regarding the Renaissance do not correctly represent the relationship between the two periods; the Baroque period followed the Renaissance and was influenced by its developments rather than being part of it.
