Answer 1

B maybe? It was an irony and the Enlightenment thinkers were trying to come up with new ideas and the irony was that books containing new ideas were banned.

Answer 2

B. books containing new ideas

hope this helps

many of the books containing new ideas contradict the Church's teaching (then one of the heads of government). The Church banned these books, because if they were read and proven true, people would question other Church teachings.

An example of this, is that the Church taught that the Earth was in the center of the Universe

We know now that this isn't true
