Answer :

The correct answer to the question is:

B. Word painting

1. Word painting is a musical technique where the music reflects the literal meaning of the lyrics. For example, if a song is about rising up, the melody might ascend. This technique became more prevalent during the Renaissance period.

While Gregorian chants, monophonic texture, melodies without musical accompaniment, and the use of unfamiliar basic scales like church modes were elements that predated the Renaissance, word painting was an innovation attributed to this period.
