The correct answer is letter B

The main characteristics of the painting are:

Perspective: figure art, in drawing or painting, the different distances and proportions between objects seen at a distance, according to the principles of mathematics and geometry;

Use of chiaroscuro: painting some areas of light and others in the shade, this game of contrasts reinforces the suggestion of volume of the bodies;

Realism: the Renaissance artist no longer sees man as a mere observer of the world that expresses the greatness of God, but as the greatest expression of God himself. And the world is thought of as a reality to be understood scientifically, and not just admired;

The use of canvas and oil paint begins;

Both painting and sculpture, which previously appeared almost exclusively as details of architectural works, become independent manifestations;

Emergence of artists with a personal style, different from the others, since the period is marked by the ideal of freedom and, consequently, by individualism.
