Brief Explanations

Iconophiles supported the use and veneration of icons as a valid part of Christian devotion, while iconoclasts opposed icons entirely, arguing their use risked idolatry, which violated religious prohibitions against worshipping graven images. The other options focus on narrow, incorrect distinctions rather than the core opposing positions.
