Answer:

C. Benedict of Nursia

Step-by-step explanation:

A work of 73 short parts, the Rule of Saint Benedict presents both spiritual guidance concerning how to live a life on earth centered on Christ and administrative guidelines on the best way to run a religious community effectively.

More than half the chapters describe specific rules for community members and the qualities of obedience and humility expected of monks. Around one-fourth control revere. One-tenth layouts how, and by whom, the religious community ought to be overseen, and another tenth explicitly portrays the abbot's pastoral obligations.
