Answer 2

Answer: B)The church paid people to create art.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for much of the Middle Ages and later, the church dictated trends in art and science, church leaders often hired some of the greatest artists of a particular time to work for the institution. Thus were created some of the greatest works of art whose value cannot be estimated. The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, painted by the famous Michelangelo, is full of biblical motifs in which the artist depicts the perfect anatomy of the characters. This example of church art certainly has the greatest value today.
