a
b

d

Explanation:

Romanesque architecture is defined by thick load-bearing walls for stone roofs, a solid, earthbound blocky look, and an exterior that mirrors the interior layout. In contrast, it has relatively sparse, rather than highly detailed, decoration; elaborate detailed decoration is more associated with Gothic architecture.

Answer:

C. large but detailed in decoration
