Romanticism turned against the formality of the preceding era. Option B is correct.
Romanticism was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that flourished in Europe toward the end of the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850.
Romanticism focused on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature. It arised partly as a response to the Industrial Revolution, the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific rationalization of nature.
