Answer 1

The most accurate answer to how the bubonic plague affected education during the Middle Ages is:

A. the plague resulted in a decline in education quality due to low student enrollment and faculty leaving.

The bubonic plague led to significant population loss, which affected many aspects of society, including educational institutions. With fewer students enrolling and faculty members leaving or succumbing to the disease, the quality and availability of education suffered during this period.
