The correct answer is C. He did not want to offend his readers by expressing his ideas too openly.

Explanation:

Dante Alighieri was a prominent Italian writer known for its literary work the Divine Comedy. In this, Alighieri deals with ideas and beliefs related to Christianity because as part of the story the main character visits hell, purgatory, and heaven. Besides this, in the Divine Comedy Dante implicitly includes controversial ideas; for example, in the Divine Comedy, the main character encounters some popes and other prominent figures in hell.

This shows Dante criticized some aspects of the Chrisitan church, but he did it indirectly because as the Divine Comedy was only a literary work through this, he avoided offending his readers and also expressing his ideas openly (Option C) which would have caused him serious problems.
