The best answer choice is woodblock printing for reproduction of texts. This technology was originally developed during the Han Dynasty in ancient China. Woodblock printing involved transferring ink onto paper using a carved wooden block with characters or images. This allowed for the mass production of books, newspapers, and other written materials, which greatly facilitated the spread of knowledge and information during the Han Dynasty and beyond.
