Answer:- C. To increase the common people’s interest in and understanding of religious ideas

The chief reason why the Catholic Church introduce tropes was to impart morals by exaggerating the lives of saints and church leaders but the other motive was to inspire loyalty.  The trope refers to the figurative language with the help of the images, words or expressions to convey the creative effort. Medieval texts implemented the bombast in liturgy. The chief reason is to teach ethics by dramatizing the lives of saints and church leaders. There is a ceremonial chant in Judaism termed trope that does not have to be mixed with this.
