Options:

a. St. Etienne

b. Durham Cathedral

c. St. Patrick’s Cathedral

d. All of the above use ribbed vaulting.

Answer:

c. St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Step-by-step explanation:

Compared to the Romanesque churches, the Gothic presented changes in their way of building that reflected in the internal space provided by them. In the Gothic buildings arises the ribbed vaults, made possible by the meeting of two pointed arches. Thus enabling the printing of greater verticality in place.

These vaults were not supported on the walls but on pillars, and to aid in the support a set of supports made of arching buttresses and buttresses was built on the outside of the church.
