Answer:

Monophonic- medieval, easier to learn because no notation, simple, boring because that is all they knew how to do, parallel organum is an early attempt at at harmony

Polyphonic- renaissance, more than one melody layered made for harmony

Baroque- homophonic, Rameau wrote treatise on

Harmony- codified the rules for writing music/harmony, now they can write melody and accompaniment
