Answer:

A. The use of columns on the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were typically 3 types of columns used by the Greeks for their relatively important buildings.

The first, and most simplest one, is known as the Doric. The column was typically made of marble, and was generally only used as a support. It had very little markings that adorn it.

The second version is known as the Ionic, with a few small markings that allowed it to be set apart as "more" important than that of Doric.

The third version is known as the Corinthian, and was used in the most important buildings or of those owned by the rich, such as temples, palaces, etc.

The Supreme Court is heavily influenced by the Greek Age, as it saw too the usage of marble, and marble columns. The frieze also heavily used marble, and was also adorn with an event, similar to what would typically be found in a Greek temple.
