    B, C and D are all enlightenment ideas. They are enlightenment ideas, because they emphasize reason and scientific knowledge over religious theory and religious tradition. Diderot's Encyclopedia is a huge mile stone for the Enlightenment Period as it was a huge book of information so that it could educate the masses and there was a general idea during the time that all humans were equal and that elite monarchy and elitism in religion should not exist.
