Verified Answer :

In my opinion, C is the correct answer.

Here is my reasoning. It is a quote from Sylvette Lemagnen, the conservator of one of the greatest tapestries in history, the Bayeux Tapestry.

"The Bayeux tapestry is one of the supreme achievements of the Norman 
Romanesque .... Its survival almost intact over nine centuries is little short of miraculous ... Its exceptional length, the harmony and freshness of its colours, its exquisite workmanship, and the genius of its guiding spirit combine to make it endlessly fascinating"
