**B. The printing press allowed publications about Renaissance ideas to be created much faster than when things were hand copied.**
The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century played a crucial role in the spread of Renaissance ideas. Before the printing press, books and manuscripts were copied by hand, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. With the printing press, books, pamphlets, and other written materials could be produced more quickly and in greater quantities, making Renaissance ideas more widely accessible to a broader audience. This contributed significantly to the dissemination of knowledge and the intellectual developments of the Renaissance.
