The correct features used in classic Greek temples include:

  1. They have symmetry, simple shapes, beauty, order, and harmony.
  2. They have a triangular pediment and horizontal frieze along the roofline.
  3. They have Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns.

The statement "They were built using arches to support the roof" is not correct, as traditional Greek temples typically did not use arches; they primarily utilized post-and-beam construction.
