Which sequence lists these art periods in the given order: Greek, Roman, Early Christian, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo?

• A. Greek, Roman, Early Christian, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo
• B. Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Early Christian, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Romanesque
• C. Roman, Greek, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Early Christian, Byzantine, Gothic, Romanesque
• D. Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Early Christian, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Romanesque

Answer: (A)

This question tests recognizing the chronological order of major Western art periods. Greek art comes first as the foundation, followed by Roman art that inherits from Greek influence. After antiquity, Early Christian art appears, then Byzantine art continues the late antique tradition. In the medieval era, Romanesque precedes Gothic. The Renaissance follows, then Baroque, and finally Rococo as the later 18th-century style. The sequence Greek, Roman, Early Christian, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo matches that historical progression. The other options shuffle these periods in a way that doesn’t align with when they actually developed.
