The correct answer would be **c. both of these**.

The gesture and gaze features in Ottonian manuscripts are important because they not only convey emotion, enhancing the narrative quality of the artwork, but also serve to differentiate the Ottonian style from the earlier Carolingian manuscripts, which had different artistic priorities and styles. Both aspects contribute to the significance of these features in understanding the cultural and artistic developments of the period.
