The correct option is D): people could more easily share ideas that challenged church teachings.

By definition, secularism is the doctrine of separation between government institutions and religious institutions.

After Gutenberg´s invention, the texts survival was guaranteed. This gave birth to the intellectual movement in Europe. People started translating texts belonging to ancient Greek and Roman authors. These works were devoted to all types of science,such as Maths and Philosophy, which involved ideas in opposition to the church beliefs.
