Explanation:

To determine how Leonardo combined science with art, we analyze each option:

• Option B: Creating portraits is an artistic endeavor without a clear scientific connection.
• Option C: Living during the Renaissance is a time period detail, not a direct link between science and art.
• Option D: Studying muscles, bones (scientific study of anatomy) and light (scientific study of optics) and applying that knowledge to his art (like in his paintings) shows the combination of science and art.

Answer:

D. He studied muscles, bones, and light
