The Renaissance was an artistic and intellectual movement that focused on:

  1. Nature

  2. Religion

  3. Philosophy

  4. Humanism

The correct answer is: Humanism

The Renaissance was a time period in Europe that was characterized by a renewed interest in the classical art, literature, and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome. It marked a shift from the previous focus on religion and the church in the Middle Ages to a more secular and humanistic approach to life. While nature, religion, and philosophy were certainly important aspects of the Renaissance, it was ultimately the celebration of human potential and achievements that defined this movement. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not fully encompass the central theme of the Renaissance.
