The correct answer is:

Solo voice and continuo

A homophonic baroque recitative, was characterized by employing large performing forces, including choirs of instrumentalists. This helped developing the concertato style,where the playing of a soloist or small group of players was contrasted with that of the full ensemble. Later on, this style of composition led to the development of the concerto.
