Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on Gutenberg's relationship with his assistants and its societal impact. Option A: Teaching assistants his work (printing press) would let them spread the invention to other regions, which aligns with how the printing press spread historically. Option B: There's no indication he inspired new inventions via passion. Option C: Giving up ownership to let them run the workshop doesn't relate to societal impact of spreading the invention. Option D: Disputing property laws is not related to his assistant relationship's societal impact. So A is correct.

Answer:

A. By teaching them his work, Gutenberg enabled them to spread his invention to other regions.
