Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Sound on disc was not a precondition for the development of early cinema. The other options all played a role in the development of early cinema. Photographs were used to create sequential images that could be projected to create the illusion of motion. Magic lanterns were an early form of projection technology that used glass slides to project images onto a surface. Motion toys, like zoetropes and flip books, provided early examples of animated images that could be used as inspiration for early filmmakers.
