D is right.

Explanation: Enlightenment is European (100%) and it was spread to the colonies (here it is meant north-American colonies because its influence in South America was much weaker). It is important that Enlightenment has various different aspects ...1) political (introduction of new and secular political institutions), 2) philosophical (rationalism, mechanicism, materialism), 3) growth of press, 4) scientific. Enlightenment had different expression in different countries.

peasants’ war, (1524–25) peasant uprising in germany inspired by changes brought by the reformation, peasants in western and southern germany invoked   divine law to demand agrarian rights and freedom from oppression by nobles and landlords. as the uprising spread, some peasant groups organized armies. although the revolt was supported huldrych zwingli and thomas müntzerits condemnation by martain luther contributed to its defeat, principally by the army of the swabian league. some 100,000 peasants were killed. reprisals and increased restrictions discouraged further attempts to improve the peasants’ plight.
