Solution

The correct option is D More people started getting an education
Aristocratic circles and rich monastic libraries preferred to use handwritten vellum. They even scoffed at paper prints and called them cheap abominations. However, the usefulness of printed material attracted more and more people. Earlier students had to write their copy of books or employ scribes if they were wealthy enough. The advent of the printed material changed all of this. The students in university cities were overjoyed. The merchants, too, were overjoyed with the advent of print. The demand for paper books soared higher.
