Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Enlightenment challenged the traditional authority of the Church.

Explanation:

Education in illustration was the development of educational systems in Europe that continued throughout the period of the Enlightenment and in the French Revolution. The Age of Enlightenment dominated advanced thinking in Europe from the 1650s to the 1780s. It developed from a series of sources of "new" ideas, such as challenges to the dogma and authority of the Catholic Church and by the growing interest in the ideas of science, in scientific methods. In philosophy, he questioned traditional ways of thinking. Enlightenment thinkers wanted to modernize the education system and play a more central role in transmitting these ideas and ideals. The improvements in educational systems produced a greater reading audience, which resulted in a greater demand for readers' printed material across a broad spectrum of social classes with a wider range of interests. After 1800, when the Enlightenment gave way to Romanticism, there was less emphasis on reason and defiance of authority and more support for emerging nationalism and compulsory school attendance.
