First Question:

Friedrich (Caspar David Friedrich) was a Romantic painter.

Option a is incorrect as his paintings aren't focused on architectural features. Option b is wrong because the light isn't for realistic time - day depiction. Option c is incorrect as his work is more about nature and spirituality, not industrialization. Option d fits as Romantic art uses light to evoke feelings.
