B.
Byzantine (for example, Hagia Sophia)

C.
Islamic (for example, Dome of the Rock)

Answer 1

Pediments and friezes are common features of buildings from the Greek civilization. One good association to this is the Parthenon.
The pediments imply episodes from Greek mythology, while the frieze describes the people in religious procession of contemporary Athens.
-------The Parthenon frieze is marble sculpture created to adorn the upper part of the Parthenon’s temple.
Partheno's pediments, metopes, and shield all show the mythological past.
Thus, the answer is letter A.
