Answer 1

Correct answer B. The living were afraid to think about the dead.

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the only correct answer as people in Middle Ages were uneducated, thus being afraid of everything they don't know. Death was a taboo theme, as they were afraid that even talking about it would bring them bad omen.
