The correct answer is **d. all of the above**. Masaccio enhanced the look of the Holy Trinity fresco by using high contrast in his painting, creating the illusion of light from outside sources, and employing lighter colors for Jesus compared to the other figures. These techniques helped convey depth and significance to the figures within the composition.
