The function that the medieval monks did not fulfill was to serve as orphanages for abandoned children (option B).
<h3>What were the medieval monks?</h3>
The medieval monk was a member of the Catholic Church who dedicated his life to professing the word of God in a monastery and teaching the word to citizens, servants and the population in general.
The monks were always related to good works because this would guarantee them a life with God in paradise. However, they did not help all the people who had problems. For example, when serf families lost their parents and children were orphaned, the monks did nothing to help them (option B).
On the contrary, those children who lost their parents and became orphans became homeless on the street and had to become servants or slaves of other families in order to survive.
