clear all

Explanation:

Henry VIII broke from the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, placing himself as its head. This transferred religious authority from the Pope to the English monarch, increasing the monarch's control over religious affairs in the country. The other options are incorrect: Protestantism was not banned under Henry VIII, monarchs gained power from (not lost to) the Pope, and England did not become fully secular.

Answer:

Monarchs increased their control over religion
