Solution
The correct option is A Depended on
'Rely' means to depend on with full trust or confidence.
"I know I can rely on your discretion"
In this context, "Before the 1700s, most European cities relied on pamphlets, handwritten newsletters and town criers for news", 'relied on' means to depend on. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
