C.

Joan of Arc's main importance was inspirational and political: her victories and presence rallied the French, helped lift the Siege of Orléans, and led to Charles VII's coronation, unifying support for the French cause. The other options are incorrect — the English did not refuse to fight her for believing she heard voices, she was not notable for introducing cannon warfare, and she did not cause a wave of women military leaders.
