The correct answer is C) The clergy of the Catholic Church were usually the only ones educated.
The statement that is true of European education in the Middle Ages is "The clergy of the Catholic Church were usually the only ones educated."
During the Middle Ages, it was the Catholic Church that oversaw education in most West European countries. The Priest and monks were the only literate people of the time and were the teachers in institutions that prepared the education programs to be imparted. This allowed the Church to spread their dogmas as part of the formal education. The Church founded many education institutes.
