Answer 1

Answer:

A. Humanism and individuality

• The Renaissance (14th–16th centuries) was a cultural movement that marked a revival of classical art, literature, and learning, primarily from Greek and Roman sources.

• It shifted focus from the divine and religious worldview of the Middle Ages to human-centered subjects, leading to the rise of humanism — a belief in the potential and value of human beings.
