Answer:

Option b. According to Bacon, people should read for pleasure and education.

Step-by-step explanation:

Francis Bacon was an English philosopher who served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. In one of his essays "Of Studies" he stated how people should read for pleasure and education, and not just for one of those things on its own. In his own words, studies and reading should serve for delight and for ability, and people should study and read but not for too much, as that would no longer be a pleasure.
