The claim that is supported by evidence presented in the graph is option C. The graph shows that the spread of printing resulted in many more books being produced.
Before 15th century and even in later years, the books were distributed in copies handwritten by scribes, many of whom were monks dedicated exclusively to prayer and the replication of copies by order of the clergy themselves or of kings and nobles.
Monks performed the role of copyists, imitators of signs that often they did not understand, which was important to copy banned books that spoke of internal medicine or s.e.x. The illustrations and capital letters were decorative and artistic product of the copyist himself, who decorated each copy that he made according to his taste or vision.
In this context, Gutemberg became the fastest in copying even faster than the monks. This is how Gutemberg invented the printing press, which allowed a greater distribution of books (and therefore, ideas and knowledge) from 1445.
With the mass printing press, and its increasing technological advances, the number of books produced was growing exponentially, as the graphic shows.
