Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the paragraph, which is the following:
Elizabethans do not understand infection and contagion as we do. It is not that they are completely ignorant as to how illnesses spread—physicians believe they know perfectly well—it is rather that their understanding is very different from ours. The principal ideas underpinning most Elizabethan medical thinking come from Galen, who lived in the second century A.D. Physicians will cite him as an unquestionable authority when they explain to you that your health depends on a balance of the four humors: yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm, and blood. If there is too much choler in your body, you will grow choleric; too much blood and you will be sanguine; too much phlegm and you will be phlegmatic; and too much black bile makes you melancholic. It is from these imbalances that sickness arises.
Answer:
c. It details the belief that bodily humors affect health.
Explanation:
According to the paragraph from "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England," the author Ian Mortimer makes reference to Galen's beliefs, which were spread to the physician world and everyone took for granted. In fact, they spoke about how four humors like yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm and blood influenced a person's health and how an unbalanced distribution of them produced sickness.

<h3>Identifying the main topics in a passage:</h3>
- The main topic is the central idea that guides the author's writing. The same passage can have more than one main topic.
- One way to identify what those topics are is by taking a look at the first sentences of the passage as well as at its conclusion. These are places where authors need to place the main idea to introduce it and to wrap it up.
- By looking at the first sentences of this passage, we can easily see that one of the topics is the population growth. By looking at the passage's conclusion, we can see that shortage of land is also a topic.
- This author is basically discussing the two things together: the population growth may lead us to face a complicated issue - lack of cultivated land.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.
