Explanation:

The bar graph shows the number of book copies across centuries (15th - 18th), increasing over time. The option about the printing press (invented in the 15th century, popularized later) explains increased book access and literacy, matching the graph's trend of more book copies. Other options (jobs, migration, wars) don't relate to book production/copies.

Answer:

More people had access to books thanks to the printing press; literacy increased
