Answer:

The answer is a. Palladio and Robert Adam influenced the redesign of Monticello.

Step-by-step explanation:

Early in his life, Jefferson showed great interest in architecture and read books that had much information about European classical architecture. His first version of the Monticello was greatly influenced by architect Andreas Palladio, and also by Robert Adam whose works not only influenced Jefferson’s thoughts on Monticello, but the development of Western architecture as well.
