Answer 1

B) The two incunabula are xylographic, and typographic.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) The two types of incunabula are xylographic, and typographic is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Incunabula is a book, pamphlet or broadside printed before 1501; they are not written by hand and there are two types.

Xylographic is also known as block book, which means that every page was printed from a wooden block that was carved or sculpted.

Typographic was made with individual pieces, also known as movable type, which made corrections easier since it was possible to change one character or line instead of printing the whole page again.
