Explanation:

Illuminated manuscripts (decorated hand - written texts) were historically prominent in Christianity (e.g., medieval Christian religious texts) and Islam (e.g., Islamic calligraphic and decorated manuscripts). Hinduism and Buddhism don't have a strong historical association with illuminated manuscripts in the same way, and Catholicism is a branch of Christianity, so option A is correct.
