A Renaissance architect convey humanism by reviving a classical Roman-style dome.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The intellectual basis of Renaissance architecture is humanism and one of the examples is “Dome of Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore” depicting soaring buoyancy which in return shows classical distribution and accurate mathematical application.

Dome is very much associated with the heavens and eternity in Hellenistic-Roman world and Ancient Persia. Domes have acquired monumental level in the Roman Imperial time and very related to nature due its sky touching heights and heavenly look.
