Answer 1

B. The Ecole, for the first time anywhere in the world, provided a formalized course of study for becoming an architect

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecole des Beaux-Arts was the first school of architecture established in the world. It was founded in 1671 and was located in France. Prior to this time, architects who designed buildings were simple artisans who were rated alongside skilled workers of other humble professions.

The school of fine arts which was established in France had a proper curriculum that formalized the study of architecture and made it a noble profession. The school attracted architects across Europe and America. They had series of programs and competitions which students participated in and in which winners were heavily rewarded.
