BConfined to a narrow elite context, with limited broader social, economic, or cultural impact during the period, and substantially forgotten within a generation or two.
CRenewed interest in classical Greek and Roman texts and models, humanist scholarship (Erasmus, Petrarch), major advances in visual arts (Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael), and printing that.

Explanation
The Renaissance (14th–17th centuries CE) is culturally characterized by renewed interest in classical Greek and Roman texts and models (recovered through Byzantine scholars fleeing to Italy after 1453, and through Islamic scholarly transmissions), humanist scholarship (Erasmus, Petrarch, Ficino), major advances in visual arts (Michelangelo's David and Sistine Chapel; Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Last Supper; Raphael's School of Athens; and many others), and printing that dramatically expanded scholarship's reach (Gutenberg's movable-type press ~1440).
