Solution

The correct option is C 1455 CE
Around 1455 CE, Gutenberg from Germany invented the printing press. Multiple copies of various books enabled the rapid spread of knowledge, made thinkers like Peter Abelard, Rozar Bacon, and John Wycliffe, question the superstitions practised by the Roman Catholic Church.
