its A

The correct answer is A. Cyril and Methodius were missionaries to the Slavs who translated the Bible into the new alphabet written for the Slavic language.

To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options B, C, and D by understanding their roles and contributions.

Option B states that Cyril and Methodius were excommunicated by Pope Gregory II for their Slavic writings supporting icons. However, this is not accurate as Cyril and Methodius were not excommunicated for supporting icons or their writings.

Option C suggests that Cyril and Methodius were iconoclasts who spoke out against the use of holy images or sculptures. However, this is also incorrect. Cyril and Methodius did not oppose the use of holy images or sculptures.

Option D states that Cyril and Methodius were scholars who established schools for the study of Greek and Roman history. While they were scholars, their focus was not specifically on Greek and Roman history. They were more prominent for their linguistic and missionary work.

Finally, option A remains as the correct answer. Cyril and Methodius were missionaries to the Slavs who developed the Glagolitic alphabet and translated religious texts, including the Bible, into the Slavic language. This allowed for the spread of Christianity among the Slavic people and the development of the Slavic writing system.
