What the council actually decided was that Gentiles didn’t need to follow Jewish laws like circumcision to become Christians. That decision meant Gentiles were officially welcomed as full members of the Church without becoming Jews first — and that’s a major turning point in church history.
So yes, the Church became more united because of that decision, but the direct and main effect was that ‘Gentiles were free to be members’ — which is why Option D is the correct answer."
