b. They fulfilled both utilitarian and artful purposes.

Explanation:

    Tapestry flourished in Europe during the Middle Ages due, on the one hand, to the abundance of wool and, on the other hand, to the amount of labor available, although it was already exercised by the Greeks and Romans in antiquity.

    The oldest tapestries, usually produced in convents and intended for churches, have a religious theme.

    Over time, carpets began to be used more in castles, according to legend that served to warm the environment built with high stone walls.

     Large commercial exhibitions were promoted and the manufacture of Flanders supplied an extensive clientele. The elaboration of the cards was generally the responsibility of painters, but there was also the painter of values, a frequent function in Brussels in the 15th century.
