In Roman homes, b. Mosaics and d. Frescoes were both common types of artwork. Mosaics often adorned floors and walls, featuring elaborate designs and scenes made from small pieces of colored stone or glass. Frescoes were painted directly onto the walls and ceilings, depicting various themes from mythology, landscapes, and everyday life.
While c. Sculptures were also present, especially in the form of busts or small figurines, they were generally less common as large pieces of art in everyday living spaces compared to mosaics and frescoes.
So, to answer your question about which artworks were specifically common in Roman homes, mosaics (b) and frescoes (d) would be the best choices. If you had to select one, mosaics (b) would be a particularly significant and widespread form of art in Roman domestic settings.
