The correct statement which best illustrates the cause and effect is:

"At this time, it was considered culturally unacceptable to deface the dead; therefore, physicians did not know much about internal anatomy."

Due to tradition and religious belief, and moral reasons, it was considered to be a sin to do experimentations with the dead. And because of that, there was only few knowledge about internal organs and internal diseases back then.
