A + C.
"Although" and "illogically" tell us that English society did the opposite of what we would expect them to. If they didn't encourage learning, it would make sense they'd be perfectly happy with women's lack of education. So, we expect their attitude is actually the opposite: they A) decried (complained) and C) criticised it.
