Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
In 1305, the College of Cardinals elected Pope Clement V, who was from France. This marked the beginning of the Avignon Papacy, where the papal residence was moved from Rome to Avignon, France. This period, which lasted until 1377, is often seen as a precursor to the Great Schism, which officially began in 1378 when two popes were elected, one residing in Rome and the other in Avignon.
