It represented a time of challenging traditional beliefs.

Explanation:

The Renaissance was period that was characterized by a quest for truth and knowledge.  On of the core ideas expressed during this time was secularism, which meant that traditional religious beliefs could be questioned.  During the Middle Ages, the period that came before the Renaissance, the Church controlled all sources of art and knowledge, and people were forced to believe what this institution said.  The Renaissance aimed to break free from this and allow people to question traditional ideas.  The Renaissance would open the door for future movements to emerge, such as the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
