The correct answer is C. A panoramic landscape of death

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triumph of Death is a famous painting by Peter Bruegel the Elder, in this painting he depicted a general landscape full of misery and death. This includes multiple corpses spread on the floor, along with skeletons that seem to be alive and gather to fight against those that are still alive. Besides this, the painting shows chaos as in the sea on the background there are shipwrecks and there is even a great fire that covers part of the scene with dark smoke.

According to this, the Triumph of Death shows a panoramic landscape of death; this can be explained as the author aimed at depiction the power of death over all the world, especially in relation to the Black Plague and the way this created a complete scene of death.
