Answer:

d.) it heightened public disagreement with the church

Explanation:

For more than a century - until 843 - the Eastern churches will rethink the so-called "iconoclastic controversy" the legality of the images. In fact, the Christians of the first centuries had manifested their opposition to the representations of divinity, which they regarded as idols. However, since the third century, the catacombs had been decorated with representations of characters and scenes from the Scriptures. And although the Byzantine tradition gives the images a pedagogical function, "silent sermons", "books for the illiterate", they are venerated as if they fixed the presence of the one or one that is represented. Some worry about it and talk about the images (icons in Greek) of superstition and even idolatry.
