Answer: B

Explanation:

Diderot's Encyclopedia was the ultimate representation of the Enlightenment idelas, since it had the purpouse of facilitating technical and philosophical knowledge to the common public. Due to the sheer scope of the project, which had the goal of encompasing all the knowledge of the world, it required and had many authors considered experts on their respective fields, although Diderot remained as the editor of the publication, which came out at first in France in 1751.
