Answer:

A. stone

Step-by-step explanation:

Medieval Gothic Cathedrals were built from iron and stone, researchers find. Using radiocarbon dating on metal found in Gothic cathedrals, an interdisciplinary team has shown, for the first time through absolute dating, that iron was used to reinforce stone from the construction phase.
