Answer:

C. Spelling

"The Renaissance and the coming of the printed book tended to set and standardize spelling."

• The Renaissance (14th–17th century) revived interest in classical learning, art, and literature.

• The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century (around 1450s) revolutionized the spread of knowledge.

• In England, William Caxton set up the first printing press in 1476.

• With printed books becoming widespread, there was a growing need for standardized spelling, grammar, and usage.
