Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the paragraph, which is the following:
Elizabethans do not understand infection and contagion as we do. It is not that they are completely ignorant as to how illnesses spread—physicians believe they know perfectly well—it is rather that their understanding is very different from ours. The principal ideas underpinning most Elizabethan medical thinking come from Galen, who lived in the second century A.D. Physicians will cite him as an unquestionable authority when they explain to you that your health depends on a balance of the four humors: yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm, and blood. If there is too much choler in your body, you will grow choleric; too much blood and you will be sanguine; too much phlegm and you will be phlegmatic; and too much black bile makes you melancholic. It is from these imbalances that sickness arises.
Answer:
c. It details the belief that bodily humors affect health.
Explanation:
According to the paragraph from "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England," the author Ian Mortimer makes reference to Galen's beliefs, which were spread to the physician world and everyone took for granted. In fact, they spoke about how four humors like yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm and blood influenced a person's health and how an unbalanced distribution of them produced sickness.

Excerpt: Good morning teachers, students, and distinguished alumni—thank you all for joining me on this momentous occasion. I’m Mayor Kenndrick, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Wessex County’s first community garden here at South Falls High School. This magnificent project is funded by a grant from Green Planet Organics as part of their Gardens Grow Great Communities program. We’re so appreciative of their commitment to this amazing program. You might be wondering why we’re planting a garden at a high school. Unfortunately, recent statistics show that most high school students spend too much time indoors. We’re all guilty of wasting time in front of the computer or television when we could be outside getting fresh air and exercise. Most of you probably think that exercise involves running laps or spending hours inside a gym. In reality, exercising can be something as simple as planting seeds or pulling out weeds. Anything that gets your blood flowing is good for you and your body. Gardening has many therapeutic benefits. This program affords students the opportunity to commune with nature as part of a new curriculum that combines environmental science and physical education. Spending time in a garden also forges a connection between you and your natural habitat, enhancing your appreciation for the environment. This community garden will also facilitate social interaction between students and community members as they work toward a common goal.
