The answer is B. The clue is "Although", which indicates contrast. So the visual arts, rather than literature(the word), was abounding after the sixteenth century.

Literature vs. visual arts. Although literature flourished, visual arts [probably] did not flourish as much as literature. Therefore today, we think about Irish culture mainly in terms of word [literature], not in terms of images [visual arts]

I think correct one is B as the culture is flourishing and so it should be lively ,but those only in visual arts and not in the real word because literature is read and not seen visually.
GOTT it!! Buddy watch 'ALthough'

answer:B
