Explanation / Answer
Correct Answer - 1. Only Icons of the Virgin Mary were admissible since she was not of divine nature
During the Iconoclasm, the main arguments were that representation of icons was against the old testament law and the icons were not representative of the divine, instead they undermined the god's word and the sacrament of the eucharist. Also, icons were unnecessary expenditure which went against the bibles teaching of worldly things.
