Answer:

B) Herculaneum.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Herculaneum and Pompeii were destroyed by Mount Vesuvius, all the ash from the volcano sealed off buildings which contained these forms of artwork. The ash covering the buildings helped to preserve the wall paintings which would have otherwise degraded over the years.

Herculaneum

Herculaneum wall painting is one of the surviving wall paintings wonders of the roman era. on the other hand Tarquinia is not the answer because it s tomb wall painting is of the Etruscan era that predated the roman era.
