it led to the development of public libraries.
it led to a renewed study of latin and greek.
gutenberg used his wealth from the invention to support artists.
it increased literacy and the use of the vernacular.

Explanation:

The invention of the printing press made books more accessible and affordable. This led to more people learning to read (increased literacy) and the use of common - language (vernacular) in printed materials as it was more relatable to the general public. Public libraries developed much later and not directly as a result of the printing press invention. The renewed study of Latin and Greek was part of the Renaissance but not a direct effect of the printing press. Gutenberg did not become wealthy enough from the invention to support artists in a significant way.

Answer:

D. It increased literacy and the use of the vernacular.
