Based on your description of the image as a detail of the portal containing archivolts and jamb figures from the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, the following features are likely correctly identified in the image:
1. **Archivolts** - These are the decorative arches that form the curve of the portal, often adorned with sculptural elements.
2. **Jamb Figures** - These are the figures or sculptures that are placed on the vertical sides (jambs) of the portal.
The other options:
- **Nave** is the central part of a church where the congregation sits, and it is not typically depicted on a portal.
- **Flying Buttress** is an architectural feature that supports walls and typically does not appear directly on the portal itself.
Thus, the correct answers would be:
- **Archivolts**
- **Jamb Figures**
