Verified Answer :

B seems to be the most logical answer

The correct answer is B) Printed books were more available and more affordable.

The Gutenberg press allowed for the mass development of books at a significantly lower price. Instead of having to rewrite books by hands, individuals could now use this machine to produce books. This meant that books were no longer limited to rich individuals. Rather, more citizens in Europe could afford these texts. This helped to increase the literacy rate in Europe during this time.
