greek sculpture
asian buddhist sculpture

• eastern religions moved into europe and soon replaced borrowed art.
• alexander borrowed art from the americas.
• french invading campaigns into asia spread roman artistic ideals.
• asian started to imitate european art styles.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: There's no evidence Eastern religions moved into Europe to replace borrowed art; the focus is on cultural borrowing in art styles, not religious replacement.
• Option 2: Alexander's borrowings from the Americas is incorrect as Alexander's influence was in Eurasia, not the Americas.
• Option 3: The French invading Asia to spread Roman artistic ideas is not relevant here; the sculptures show Greek (not Roman - Greek is earlier, but the style here) and Asian Buddhist with Greek - like drapery, likely from Hellenistic influence (like after Alexander's conquests in Asia), not French invasion.
• Option 4: The Asian Buddhist sculpture has drapery similar to Greek sculpture, indicating Asian artists imitated European (Greek) art styles, which is cultural borrowing.

Answer:

D. Asian started to imitate European art styles.
