D

Explanation

Mixed media means using more than one artistic medium or material in a single work, so choice a is incorrect. The technique is not relatively new, and combining materials generally expands creative possibilities rather than limiting them. Illuminated manuscripts often combined handwritten text, ink, and painted decoration, making them an example of mixed media. Therefore, the true statement is that one form of mixed media was commonly used to create illuminated manuscripts.
