Explanation:

Humanism was the core philosophy of the Renaissance, focusing on human potential, realism, and depicting humans in natural, lifelike contexts. Mannerism was a later, stylized movement, not the foundational philosophy. Secularism was present, but Renaissance art still included many religious themes, just with humanistic flourishes.
