Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine the main differences between French and English Baroque painting, we analyze each option:

- Option b: French Baroque painting was strongly influenced by Italian Baroque, while English Baroque had less of this influence. This aligns with art history knowledge about Baroque influences.
