C. Iconoclasm

Explanation:

Iconoclasm is the name given to a belief that states the importance of the destruction of images, monuments or other icons, most often for a religious reason. Iconoclasm has occurred in various moments in history and within many religions. Although it is most often associated with the Byzantine Empire, it also took place within Protestant denominations in the sixteenth century. This was due to the belief that adoration of such artwork was against the Ten Commandments as stated in the Bible.
