Solution

The correct option is A Marco Polo
An Italian merchant named Marco Polo explored China. After years of exploration, he left China with the knowledge of woodblock printing. Woodblock printing from Italy soon spread to other parts of Europe. Aristocratic circles and rich monastic libraries still used handwritten vellum. They scoffed at paper prints calling them cheap abominations.
