What was the Counter-Reformation? A series of actions by the Protestant Church intended to separate the Church and the state
A series of actions by the Catholic Church intended to spread and defend the Catholic faith
A movement led by Martin Luther with the goal of reforming the Church
A movement led by the Catholic Church with the goal of electing a new pope

The answer is B) A series of actions by the Catholic Church intended to spread and defend the Catholic faith.

The counter-reformation was in response to the Protestant reformation, so the first answer is out of the question.
Martin Luthers own actions sparked the Protestant reformation, and as mentioned prior - it was a response to the Protestant reformation (however, during this time they did solidify the power of the pope).
