The correct answer is C. Scientists and theologians could more easily spread their knowledge and ideas

The creation of the printing press by Gutenberg in the 16th implied books and other documents could be easily copied without requiring a person to copy them manually, this led to multiple books and documents being copied and spread among the common people, which implied not only a few people could have access to the knowledge. Thus, scientist, theologians, and other people could share their ideas, knowledge, literary works and discoveries easily as more copies could be made in less time and thus more copies could be spread to be read by the common people, not only by the members of the church or the richest as in the middle ages, because of this, more people could know the advancements of scientists and theologians.
