"The pope recognized Henry V as the lawful emperor."
Explanation: The Concordat of Worms (1122) ended the Investiture Controversy by compromise — the emperor gave up the right to invest bishops with the ring and staff (spiritual authority), while the pope allowed the emperor a role in granting temporal authority (e.g., the scepter) and acknowledged Henry's imperial authority. The other choices are incorrect.
