Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text notes: "However, it had its limitations. For example, in the absence of writing, people depended on the power of their memory to retain and transmit all learned ideas to future generations. However, memory could fail, and when a custodian of some useful information or skill died, all was lost."

Hint

Think about how knowledge was preserved and transmitted without written records.
