please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Before the Edict of Milan, Christianity was persecuted, so Christian art had to be discreet. Option d states that it contained images of symbolic Christian people who would go unnoticed by pagans, which aligns with the need for secrecy. Option a is incorrect as Orthodox cathedrals as we know them didn't exist then and Christianity was underground. Option b's "multi - leveled symbolism" is not the main characteristic of pre - Edict Christian art in terms of avoiding detection. Option c's focus on wealthy leadership's spiritual focus is not accurate for the context of persecuted Christianity.

Answer:

D. contained images of symbolic Christian people who would go unnoticed by pagans
