Answer:

C) enlightenment

Explanation:

The Enlightenment was a cultural and intellectual movement, primarily European, that was born in the mid-eighteenth century and lasted until the early nineteenth century. It was especially active in France, England and Germany, inspired profound cultural and social changes, and one of the most dramatic changes was the French Revolution. It was named in this way for its declared purpose of dissipating the darkness of the ignorance of humanity through the lights of knowledge and reason. The eighteenth-century is known, for this reason, as the Age of Enlightenment and the settlement of Faith in progress.

Enlightenment thinkers argued that human knowledge could fight ignorance, superstition, and tyranny to build a better world. The Enlightenment had a great influence on scientific, economic, political and social aspects of the time. This type of Humanist thinking expanded in the bourgeoisie and in a part of the aristocracy, through new means of publication and dissemination, as well as meetings, held at the home of wealthy people or aristocrats, in which intellectuals and politicians participated in order to expose and debate about science, philosophy, politics or literature.
