a. the development of the axiom - deductive method
b. the use of functions to describe lines and curves
c. advances in spherical geometry
d. the development of projection perspective

Explanation:

René Descartes is known for his work in analytic geometry. He used coordinates (which can be related to functions in a sense) to describe geometric objects. The axiom - deductive method was more associated with Euclid. Spherical geometry had earlier developments. Projection perspective was more in the realm of art and some geometric studies before Descartes in a different context.

Answer:

B. the use of functions to describe lines and curves
