Based on your description of the plan, the answer would likely be:

**D. Maderno’s plan**

This is because Maderno's plan for St. Peter's Basilica included the significant elements of the cross-shaped layout with a long nave and shorter transepts, along with the arched entrances you mentioned. If the plan has a long hallway (the nave) and three short hallways (the transepts), it aligns with Maderno's design.
