Explanation:

When the Great Mosque of Cordoba was finally converted into a church (the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption), key modifications included adding chapels, but the distinct red-and-white horseshoe arches and existing pillars were retained and augmented with colorful decorative mosaics and other Christian architectural elements. Option A is incorrect as the dome was not removed for painted brick chapels; Option B is incorrect because the original red-and-white arches were part of the mosque's initial design, not created post-conversion.

Answer:

C. Pillars and arches were added and enhanced with colorful mosaics.
