Answer:

Option: The Church leaders were often too educated and society was upset their education wasn’t used elsewhere

Explanation:

The medieval period is known to be dominated by the Church. Society in the medieval era believed in teachings of the Church. Women in the medieval era allowed to obtain an education and some became nuns and scholars. In monasteries, education was very much present in society.  Monasteries, Church, and the State provided education to children among the Noble and middle class.
